Pairs of palindromic primes without $1$ and have a palindromic product

275 Views Asked by At

While discussing about prime numbers with other users, I noticed that:

$(1)$ There are very few pairs of palindromic prime numbers that do not contain the digit $1$ and that have products which are palindromes.

Ex : $[2, 3], [2, 30203], [2, 30403]$

$(2)$ For the large range that was tested on PARI/GP, I noticed that all the palindromic primes that yielded palindromic products were composed only of the digits $0, 2, 3, 4$

$(3)$ The palindromic primes of these pairs are equal to $2$ or always exist in the range of $3 \times 10^k$ to $4 \times 10^k$ where $k \in \Bbb{+Z}, 0$

User Peter helped me get the following results for $a, b \lt 10^7$ on PARI/GP:

[2, 3] 
[2, 30203] 
[2, 30403] 
[2, 32323] 
[2, 32423] 
[2, 3002003] 
[2, 3222223] 
[2, 3223223] 
[2, 3233323] 
[2, 3304033] 
[2, 3343433] 
[2, 3400043] 
[2, 3424243] 
[2, 3443443] 
[2, 3444443] 
[3, 30203] 
[3, 32323] 
[3, 3002003] 
[3, 3222223] 
[3, 3223223] 
[3, 3233323] 
[30203, 3002003]

Questions:

(1) Are there a finite number of pairs of $a, b$, where $a, b$ are palindromic primes that do not contain the digit $1$ and $ab$ is a palindrome?

(2) Are all the palindromic primes that yielded palindromic products composed only of the digits $0, 2, 3, 4$?

(3) Are all the palindromic primes of these pairs equal to $2$ or always exist in the range of $3 \times 10^k$ to $4 \times 10^k$ where $k \in \Bbb{+Z}, 0$?
