p.278, icon at Example 6
# 3. (Problem A1 from the 1989 William Lowell Putnam Mathematics Competition.) Consider the sequence of integers
(in base 10): 101, 10101, 1010101, 101010101, 10101010101,.... Prove that 101 is the only number in this sequence
that is prime. (Hint: Use place value to write each number in terms of the sum of its digits; for example, abcde =
a10+ + b10³ + c10² + d10+ e. Then examine how the sum might be factored.)
