Introduction

Palindromic numbers are numbers which read the same from
 p_right left to right (forwards) as from the right to left (backwards) p_left
Here are a few random examples : 7, 3113, 44611644

Pentagonal numbers are defined and calculated by this extraordinary intricate and excruciatingly complex formula.
So, this line is for experts only

Normal and Palindromic Pentagonals

flash So far I compiled 78 Palindromic Pentagonals.
Here is the largest Sporadic Palindromic Pentagonal that Patrick De Geest
discovered, using CUDA code by Robert Xiao, on [ September 24, 2024 ]

This basenumber
8.380.905.875.275.233.386.185.451.026
has 28 digits
yielding the following palindromic pentagonal number
105.359.374.935.334.388.747.447.001.151.100.744.747.883.433.539.473.953.501
with a length of 57 digits.


bu17 All palindromic pentagonal numbers can only end with 0, 1, 2, 5, 6 or 7.
Alas, my palindromes may not have leading 0's! So the zero option must not be investigated.
1 can only be followed by 0 or 5 : 10 or 15
2 can be followed by any number : 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 or 29
5 can be followed by any number : 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58 or 59
6 can only be followed by 2 or 7 : 62 or 67
7 can be followed by any number : 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78 or 79


bu17 There exist no palindromic pentagonals of length  3, 9, 11, 12, 24, 30, 32, 33, 42, 45, 46, 50, 51, 52, 54.
