Algebra.Com's Answer #61160 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you look at the sequence, you'll notice that every number is prime. Also, if you reverse each number, you get:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "16,196,361,784,1024\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and each of these numbers are perfect squares. So which number is prime and if reversed is a perfect square? Well to save you time the number is 9631. The reverse of that number, 1369, is a perfect square, and 9631 is prime.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the next number in the sequence is 9361 \n" ); document.write( " |
