Introduction

Palindromic numbers are numbers which read the same from

 p_right left to right (forwards) as from the right to left (backwards) p_left
Here are a few random examples : 7, 3113, 44611644

Pentagonal numbers are defined and calculated by this extraordinary intricate and excruciatingly complex formula.
So, this line is for experts only

base x ( 3 x base - 1 )

The best way to get a 'structural' insight as how to imagine pentagonals is to visit for instance this site :


Normal and Palindromic Pentagonals

flash So far I compiled 58 Palindromic Pentagonals.

Here is the largest one that Feng Yuan from Washington State, USA,
discovered on [ January 6, 2008 ].

This basenumber
128.481.111.918.761.748.263.908
has 24 digits
yielding the following palindromic pentagonal number
24.761.094.179.822.073.249.932.323.994.237.022.897.149.016.742
with a length of 47 digits.

bu17 All palindromic pentagonal numbers can only end with 1, 2, 5, 6 or 7.

bu17 There exist no palindromic pentagonals of length  3, 9, 11, 12, 24.

(Sloane's A059868)

bu17 Believe it or not but some numbers can't be expressed as the sum of 3 pentagonal numbers.

%N Not the sum of 3 pentagonal numbers. under Sloane's A003679.

bu17 Every pentagonal number is one-third of a triangular number.
