A permutiple is a natural number that is a nontrivial multiple of a permutation of its digits in some base. Special cases of permutiples include cyclic numbers (multiples of cyclic permutations of their digits) and palintiple numbers…
Natural numbers which are nontrivial multiples of some permutation of their base-$b$ digit representations are called permutiples. Specific cases include numbers which are multiples of cyclic permutations (cyclic numbers) and reversals of…
A permutiple is a natural number whose representation in some base, $b>1$, is an integer multiple of a number whose base-$b$ representation has the same collection of digits. Previous efforts have made progress in finding such numbers using…
We introduce a notion of palindromicity of a natural number which is independent of the base. We study the existence and density of palindromic and multiple palindromic numbers, and we raise several related questions.
A permutiple is the product of a digit preserving multiplication, that is, a number which is an integer multiple of some permutation of its digits. Certain permutiple problems, particularly transposable, cyclic, and, more recently,…
A natural number N is said to be palindromic if its binary representation reads the same forwards and backwards. In this paper we study the quotients of two palindromic numbers and answer some basic questions about the resulting sets of…
We consider several families of palintiples (also known as reverse multiples) whose carries themselves are digits of lower-base palintiples and give some methods for constructing them from fundamental palintiple types. We also continue the…
It is shown that the set of decimal palindromes is an additive basis for the natural numbers. Specifically, we prove that every natural number can be expressed as the sum of forty-nine (possibly zero) decimal palindromes.
A permutiple is a natural number whose representation in some base is an integer multiple of a number whose representation has the same collection of digits. A previous paper utilizes a finite-state-machine construction and its state graph…
A palindrome in base $g$ is an integer $N$ that remains the same when its digit expansion in base $g$ is reversed. Let $g$ and $h$ be given distinct integers $>1$. In this paper we discuss how many integers are palindromes in base $g$ and…
The reversal of a positive integer $A$ is the number obtained by reading $A$ backwards in its decimal representation. A pair $(A,B)$ of positive integers is said to be palindromic if the reversal of the product $A \times B$ is equal to the…
We give an algorithm to determine all the repeated concatenations, in a given base, of a natural number in a residue class. The author recently describes a particular sequence of $v$-palindromes that inspires this investigation. We also…
We introduce \emph{patterned numbers}, a digit--divisor-based classification of integers motivated by recreational mathematics. A number is defined to be patterned if at least one of its positive divisors appears as a digit in its base-10…
We introduce two new classes of integers. The first class consists of numbers $N$ for which there exists at least one nonnegative integer $A$, such that the sum of $A$ and the sum of digits of $N$, added to the reversal of the sum, gives…
Natural numbers satisfying an unusual property are mentioned by the author in [5], in which their infinitude is also proved. In this paper, we start with an arbitrary natural number which is not a multiple of 10 and non-palindromic, form…
It is shown that the set of palindromes is an additive basis for the natural numbers in any base. Specifically, we prove that every natural number can be expressed as the sum of $O(d)$ palindromes in base $d$.
We study the distribution of palindromic numbers (with respect to a fixed base $g\ge 2$) over certain congruence classes, and we derive a nontrivial upper bound for the number of prime palindromes $n\le x$ as $x\to\infty$. Our results show…
A perfect number is a number whose divisors add up to twice the number itself. The existence of odd perfect numbers is a millennia-old unsolved problem. This note proposes a proof of the nonexistence of odd perfect numbers. More generally,…
Everybody has certainly heard about palindromes: words that stay the same when read backwards. For instance kayak, radar, or rotor. Mathematicians are interested in palindromic numbers: positive integers whose expansion in a certain integer…
Polytope numbers for a polytope are a sequence of nonnegative integers that are defined by the facial information of a polytope. Every polygon is triangulable and a higher dimensional analogue of this fact states that every polytope is…
