----------------------------------------
The prime factorisation of 9999 is 9×11×101. 101 is the smallest 3 digit prime. The sum of the primes is 121, which is 11². 11 is the only palindromic prime with an even number of digits due to the fact that all palindromes with an even number of digits are divisible by 11. Who said numbers were boring? edit: I should edit this to make me look less stupid, but I'll let my error stand and have another go with my current ranking.... The prime factorisation of 9996 is 2×2×3×7×7×17. The sum of the primes is 38, which is 2×19. 38+19+2 is 59, which is an irregular prime and the shortest side of the Pythagorean triangle (59, 1740, 1741).

LOL! I've had years of engineering math in college (still have), but I still don't know what a prime is!

Define: prime
"Prime is a Malibu Comics superhero comic book character. Like the Golden Age Captain Marvel, Prime is really a young boy with the power to transform into an adult superhero. He is a part of the Malibu Ultraverse, and appeared in a 1990s syndicated Ultraverse animated television show. He was also a member of the Ultraforce team." Thanks, knreed, depriens, David. I'm looking forward to this. geekpoints++ |
