Palindromic Products
of Two Ninedigital Numbers
rood Two pandigitals


Introduction

A continuation of the topic started in WONplate 97

How many palindromes can you find
that are the products of two ninedigital numbers ?

On [ June 14, 2002 ] I (pdg) ended my search for these
extraordinary ninedigitals and found in total 220 solutions.
All the palindromic products are of length 17.
None of length 18 is discovered !
Can this phenomenon be explained mathematically ?

Jean Claude Rosa (email) explains why there aren't any palindromic products of length 18.

A palindrome with 18 digits is always divisible by 11 and all
ninedigitals are divisible by 9 so a palindrome with 18 digits
as a product of two ninedigitals is divisible by 891 (9*9*11).
I verified that the number 10^18-1, composed of 18 digits '9'
is the sole 18-digit palindrome that is a multiple of 891
and this number is too large for being a product of two
ninedigitals.
Also if P is a palindrome with 18 digits (for example of
the form 1..... .....1) divisible by 891 then the difference
(10^18-1) - P is also a palindrome with 18 digits divisible
by 11 (thus of the form 8..... .....8) and so on...


Observations

One ninedigital only in the list can be multiplied
with two other ninedigitals to arrive at a palindrome.

172568349 *
213496587 = 36842753535724863 palindromic

      x


523876941 = 90404578787540409 palindromic

Three palindromes can be expressed as products of
two ninedigitals in two different but math-related ways.

44589341514398544 =
139657428 * 319276548 N1 * N2 (64)

148369257 * 432951678 N1 * N2 (86)

67973601310637976 =
173629458 * 391486572 N1 * N2 (141)

      x            x


195743286 * 347258916 N2/2 * N1*2 (179)

Two palindromes lead us through a waterfall of
transformations to the topic of pandigital numbers
in this case as products of two 5-digit factors
(Resp. index numbers 14 and 17 from the above list).
