COMMENT

Every positive integer is a factor of a palindrome, unless it is a multiple of 10 (D. G. Radcliffe, see links).

Every integer n has a multiple of the form 99...9900...00. To see that n has a multiple that's a palindrome (allowing 0's on the left) with even digits, let 9n divide 99...9900...00; then n divides 22...2200...00. - Dean Hickerson, Jun 29, 2001.

LINKS

EXAMPLE

For n = 30 we have m = 3, 1*m = 3 is a palindrome, so a(30) = 3. For n = m = 12 the smallest palindromic multiple is 21*m = 252, so a(12) = 252.

PROGRAM

(ARIBAS): stop := 200000; for n := 0 to maxarg do k := 1; test := true; while test and k < stop do mp := omit_trailzeros(n)*k; if test := mp <> int_reverse(mp) then inc(k); end; end; if k < stop then write(mp, " "); else write(-1, " "); end; end;

CROSSREFS
