Images Created from Prime Numbers

How did you get 4 digits? Wouldn't that mean 1 in every 2^4 = 16 is prime? For 1 in every 6200 shouldn't it be 12 digits?

I think the confusion here is that the first image is generated by rendering a prime in binary. The rest appear to be decimal, though, which leads to the result of 4 digits.
