5.12 THRICE UNFACTORISED<br />

5.12.1 Richard England<br />

I have found a four‐digit number such that it is impossible<br />

<strong>to</strong> fac<strong>to</strong>rise the numbers formed by its first digit or last<br />

digit or first two digits or middle two digits or last two<br />

digits or first three digits or last three digits or all four digits.<br />

In other words all those eight numbers are prime<br />

except that either or both of the single‐digit numbers may<br />

be unity.<br />

Harry and Tom have also found such a four‐digit number.<br />

The four‐digit numbers that we have found are all different;<br />

but Harryʹs number uses the same digits as Tomʹs<br />

number, though in a different order. Which four‐digit<br />

number have I found<br />
