Does anyone know a 4 digit prime palindrome number?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

check out this page http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PalindromicPrime.html

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

actually....hmm...it's displaying different bases, so that's probably confusing

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

here is a better one http://oeis.org/A002385

I coudn't find anything on either page

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and if you look at the sequence of Palindromic primes, you get this 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 101, 131, 151, 181, 191, 313, 353, 373, 383, 727, 757, 787, 797, 919, 929, 10301, 10501 but nowhere in this list is a 4 digit prime number so it looks like it doesn't exist

Thanks anyways!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it goes from 929 to 10301, so hopefully there isn't a typo if not, then it's safe to say a 4 digit palindromic prime is not possible

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh found this too http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindromic_prime on this page it says "Except for 11, all palindromic primes have an odd number of digits"
