123457

This number is a prime.

+ When you remove the penultimate (next to the last) digit of 123457 you will end up with yet another prime. Repeat the process for four more primes. [Brod]

+ The smallest prime formed from the first six imperfect numbers in order. [Beedassy]

+ The sum of the repunit number 111111 and all truncations of itself plus one is prime. [Loungrides]

+ The smallest prime whose 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th digits are 2, 3, 4, and 5 respectively (OEIS A371845). Coincidentally, 6 is absent from the number. This is also the smallest 6-digit prime with strictly increasing digits (OEIS A071362). If its digits are taken as (a, b, c, d, e, f) = (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7), then except the initial term a!² = 1, all partial sums of squared factorials (a!² + b!², a!² + b!² + c!², …) are prime. [Ahmed]
