SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on identifying palindromic numbers A within the range of 1000 to 2000, defined by the equation A = B × C, where B and C are both palindromic primes. Key constraints include B being a two-digit number and C a three-digit number. It is clarified that while A must be a palindrome, it cannot be a prime number due to its definition as a product of two factors.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of palindromic numbers
  • Knowledge of prime numbers and their properties
  • Familiarity with number theory concepts
  • Basic multiplication and factorization skills
NEXT STEPS
  • Research palindromic prime numbers between 10 and 999
  • Explore algorithms for generating palindromic numbers
  • Study the properties of products of prime numbers
  • Investigate the significance of palindromic numbers in number theory
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, number theorists, and students interested in the properties of palindromic and prime numbers, as well as those exploring mathematical puzzles involving products and palindromes.

[sp]If A is the product of B and C how can A be prime?[/sp]

sorry! A is a palindrome but not a prime
 
only 2 digit palinodromic prime is B = 11
A < 2000 and is of the form 1aa1
from this and C is palinodrom and prime we have C < 2000/11 and C >=100 hence C = 101 or 131 or 151 or 181
giving A = 1111, 1441, 1661, 1881

so we have following combinations (1111 = 1 1 * 101, 1441 = 11 * 131, 1661 = 11 * 151, 1991 = 11 * 181
