Theorem
The integer defined as:
- $10^{11 \, 810} + 1 \, 465 \, 641 \times 10^{5902} + 1$
is a gigantic prime which is also palindromic.
That is:
- $1(0)_{5901}1465641(0)_{5901}1$
where $\left({a}\right)_b$ means $b$ instances of $a$ in a string.
Proof
It is clear that this number is palindromic.
It is also noted that it has $1 + 5901 + 7 + 5901 + 1 = 11 \, 811$ digits, making it gigantic.
It was checked that it is a prime number using the "Alpertron" Integer factorisation calculator on $6$th March $2022$.
This took approximately $4$ minutes.
