equidigital number


An equidigital number n is an integer with a base b representationPlanetmathPlanetmath of k digits for which the prime factorizationMathworldPlanetmath uses exactly k digits (with repeated prime factorsMathworldPlanetmath grouped with exponents and the digits of those exponents counted whenever greater than 1). Regardless of the base, all primes are equidigital. The first few composite equidigital numbers in base 10 are 10, 14, 15, 16, 21, 25, 27, 32, 35, 49, 64, 81, 105, 106, 111, 112, 115, 118, 119, 121, 122, 123, 129, 133, 134, 135, etc.
