What are the prime palindrome numbers from 10 to 1000?

Published in Palindromic Primes 2 mins read

The prime palindrome numbers between 10 and 1000 are 11, 101, 131, 151, 181, 191, 313, 353, 373, 383, 727, 757, 787, 797, 919, and 929. These numbers are unique because they are both prime and read the same forwards and backward.

Understanding Prime Palindrome Numbers

To fully grasp what these numbers represent, let's break down the two key terms:

  • Prime Number: A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. For example, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13 are prime numbers.
  • Palindrome Number: A palindrome number is a number that remains the same when its digits are reversed. For instance, 121, 353, and 727 are palindrome numbers.

A prime palindrome (or palindromic prime) is therefore a number that satisfies both conditions: it is a prime number and it reads the same forwards and backward.

Palindromic Primes from 10 to 1000

Based on the list of palindromic primes provided by Simple English Wikipedia, we can identify those that fall within the specified range of 10 to 1000. The full list includes numbers such as 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 101, 131, 151, 181, 191, 313, 353, 373, 383, 727, 757, 787, 797, 919, 929, and many larger ones.

Filtering this comprehensive list for numbers greater than or equal to 10 and less than or equal to 1000 yields the following results:

Prime Palindrome Explanation
11 First two-digit prime palindrome.
101 The smallest three-digit prime palindrome.
131 A prime that remains 131 when reversed.
151 Another three-digit example.
181 A prime, reads same forwards and backward.
191 Ends in 1, still a prime palindrome.
313 A prime, reads the same.
353 A three-digit palindrome and a prime.
373 A prime palindrome, central digit 7.
383 Another example of a prime palindrome.
727 A prime palindrome, central digit 2.
757 A prime palindrome, central digit 5.
787 A prime palindrome, central digit 8.
797 A prime palindrome, central digit 9.
919 One of the largest three-digit prime palindromes.
929 The largest three-digit prime palindrome.

These numbers illustrate the unique intersection of primality and palindromic symmetry within the specified range.
