A083457 Smallest nontrivial k such that k^n - 1 is a palindrome (k >1 for n>1). 1

%I #6 Aug 25 2014 11:53:09

%S 1,2,2,10,3,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,

%T 10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,

%U 10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10

%N Smallest nontrivial k such that k^n - 1 is a palindrome (k >1 for n>1).

%C The sequence is infinite as 10 always qualifies: 10^k - 1 is always a palindrome, hence a(n) <=10. Is there any n > 5 for which a(n) is not equal to 10?

%e a(5) = 3 as 3^5 -1 = 242 is a palindrome.

%Y Cf. A083456.

%K base,nonn

%O 1,2
