SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the concept of prime numbers whose digits are all prime, with participants exploring whether such numbers have a specific name. The initial examples provided include single-digit primes (2, 3, 5, 7) and the two-digit prime 23. The conversation highlights that the property of being prime is independent of number representation, leading to the conclusion that no established name exists for these numbers. One participant proposes the term "Digital Primes" to describe this category.
