Blog #59 - Find the 4 digit number

- It is a 4 digit number (call it as ABCD)
- (AB + CD) ^ 2 is one of it anagrams
- One of its three digit anagram is also a perfect square
- ABCD - 1 results in a number which has 11 as one of its factor
- ABCD + 1 results in a number which is prime
- ABCD + 9 ^ 2 is again a perfect square
- Last not but not the least this number itself is pretty unique and famous for a reason (Clue: Uniqueness in terms of its factors)

  1. Additional information. The last clue is the unique property of this number - the first one among 4 digit numbers to exhibit this with respect to its factors. Also (ABCD) + (17 ^ 2) is again a perfect square!!! I will publish the answer later today

  2. Answer for Blog Post #59 - I got the response offline from Priya R (who has gone through my blog) and hence publishing the response now. The answer is 2520
    (25 + 20) ^ 2 = 2025 (Anagram)
    0225 is a perfect square (this was a crucial clue as if the anagram is 3 digit then one of the digits of the original number should be zero)
    2520 is the first 4 digit number which has factors from 1 to 10
    2520 + 81 = 2601, 2520 + 289 = 2809
