Blog Post 71: Number 343 in the spotlight!

343 is well known for its following characteristics as I had published in the earlier post

343 - 7 * 7 * 7
343 can be expressed as (3 + 4) ^ 3 by inserting few symbols between the digits
343 is one the few cubic or square palindrome

Taking this further let's look at the following series

Series 1: Insert 0 to 9 as the second digit (for eg. 3043, 3143, etc) and write down their factors

Series 2 : Prefix 0 to 9 before 343 and write down their factors

Are there any observations we could make or is it exhibited by most of the numbers?

Series 1                                                               Series 2

3043 – 17, 179                                                    0343 – 7,49

3143 – 7, 449                                                      1343 – 17, 79

               

3243 – 3, 23, 47                                                  2343 – 3, 11, 71

3343 – Prime                                                      3343 - Prime

3443 – 11, 313                                                    4343 – 43 and 101

3543 – 3, 1181                                                    5343 – 3, 13, 137

3643 – Prime                                                      6343 - Prime

3743 – 19, 197                                                    7343 – 7, 1049

3843 – 9, 61, 7                                                    8343 – 9, 9, 103

3943 – Prime number                                         9343 - Prime

Blog Post #70 - Sum of successive squares - what do we observe?

Take a look at the series below - first 20 set of sum of successive squares

1 ^ 2 + 2 ^ 2 = 5
2 ^ 2 + 3 ^ 2 = 13
3 ^ 2 + 4 ^ 2 = 25
4 ^ 2 + 5 ^ 2 = 41
5 ^ 2 + 6 ^ 2 = 61
6 ^ 2 + 7 ^ 2 = 85
7 ^ 2 + 8 ^ 2 = 113
8 ^ 2 + 9 ^ 2 = 145
9 ^ 2 + 10 ^ 2 = 181
10 ^ 2 + 11 ^ 2 = 221
11 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2 = 265
12 ^ 2 + 13 ^ 2 = 313
13 ^ 2 + 14 ^ 2 = 365
14 ^ 2 + 15 ^ 2 = 421
15 ^ 2 + 16 ^ 2 = 481
16 ^ 2 + 17 ^ 2 = 545
17 ^ 2 + 18 ^ 2 = 613
18 ^ 2 + 19 ^ 2 = 685
19 ^ 2 + 20 ^ 2 = 761
20 ^ 2 + 21 ^ 2 = 841

What all do we observe and are there specific inferences?

Blog Post #69 - Is this pattern a unique behaviour or just a coincidence?

Consider these numbers

131 - Prime number, Its anagrams 113 and 311 are prime as well
919 - Prime number, Its anagrams 199 and 991 are prime as well
373 - Prime number, Its anagrams 733 and 337 are prime as well

Is there a pattern or does it break somewhere? Does it also extend to 4 digit numbers?

Even if it breaks somewhere is there something that is common to all these numbers?

Blog Post #68 - What's unique about this series

What are the unique attributes about this series

576, 676, 5476, 5776, 15376, 15876

List all possible observations and is there any other series similar to this

Blog Post #67 - Find the 3 digit number

1. Let's call the number as XYZ
2. XYZ + a ^ 2 = Perfect square while XYZ - a^2 is a Prime number
3. XYZ + b ^ 2 = Perfect square while XYZ - b ^2 is again a Prime number
4. Suffix a digit W and XYZW is a perfect square again
5. XYZ itself is unique in some sense 

Blog Post #66 - What's the next series and why?

Looking at the series below, find the missing numbers

64, 81, 125, 144, 216, 289, ?, ?

Anything else unique about the result?

Blog Post # 65 - What is unique about these sequence of numbers?

I just happened to notice this pattern when I saw two cars with registration numbers 2809 and 1521 earlier today. Needless to say both number caught my attention since they were perfect squares and then tried to see if few more numbers exhibit that pattern

Here's the sequence I am looking at

1521, 2025, 2809, 4225, 4900...

It is obvious that they are perfect squares but there is something unique they exhibit apart from that in a sequence

What is the pattern they exhibit and also give me the next 2 or 3 four digit numbers in that sequence?
