Triskaidekaphilia (Part II)


6. 13 is a prime such that for any digits a,b > 0 and any integers n,m > 1 one can build an integer divisible by it having exactly n digits equal to a, exactly m digits equal to b and exactly 2 digits equal to 0. Moreover this m+n+2 digit long number is non-trivial, in that none of the two 0 digits is located at the end of the number.

Indeed this is true since:
131011ktimes101,kN

One other prime with this property is 7. This can easily e extended to any number of digits.

7. 13 is a prime with the property that:

a,bN{pabpbcpca

This is equivalent to the fact that the following equation system in a, b and c:

{10a+1b+0c=00a+10b+1c=01a+0b+10c=0

has non-trivial solutions modulo p, hence for its discriminant we have that:

|101001011010|=10010modp

Therefore the primes with this property are 7, 11 and 13.

8. 13 is a prime with the property that:

a,bN{pabpbcpa+b+c

9. 13 is a prime with the property that:

a,bN{pabpbcpa2+b2+c2
