Smallest "diamond-number" above some power of ten?

Let us call a positive integer $N$ a "diamond-number" if it has the form $p^2q$ with distinct primes $p,q$ with the same number of decimal digits. An example is $N=10^{19}+93815391$. Its ...

Is the "reverse" of the $33$ rd Fermat number composite?

If we write down the digits of the $33$ rd Fermat number $$F_{33}=2^{2^{33}}+1$$ in base $10$ in reverse order , the resulting number should , considering its magnitude , be composite. But can we ...

Ratio between largest and smallest prime factor

For a Carmichael-number $N$ let $p$ be the smallest and $q$ the largest prime factor. Consider $r:=\frac{q}{p}$. We could call a Carmichael "balanced" , if $r\approx 1$ , say $r<1.1$. ...

Solution of $\sigma(\sigma(m)+m)=2\sigma(m)$ with $\omega(m)>8$?

This question is related to this one. $\sigma(n)$ is the divisor-sum function (the sum of the positive divisors of $n$) and $\omega(n)$ is the number of distinct prime factors of $n$. The object is ...

How many numbers are there such that its number of decimal digits equals to the number of its distinct prime factors?

Problem A positive integer is said to be balanced if the number of its decimal digits equals the number of its distinct prime factors. For instance, $15$ is balanced, while $49$ is not. How many ...
