Is There Anything Else Special about the Palindrome 939?

Advertisements

Yes, 939 is a palindrome in base 10, but also all of its factors (1, 3, 313, and 939) are palindromes. It is also palindrome
32223 in BASE 4 because 3(4⁴) + 2(4³) + 2(4²) + 2(4¹) + 3(4⁰) = 939

Okay, that’s nice. Is there anything else special about 939?

The first ten decimal places of the cube root of 939 contain ALL ten digits 0 to 9. That’s unusual, and a reason why 939 is a special number. I made this gif to highlight its uniqueness.

Thank you OEIS.org for informing us of that amazing fact about 939’s cube root.

939 is also the hypotenuse of a Pythagorean triple:
75-936-939 which is 3 times (25-312-313)
