Puzzle 1025. 352757

G. L. Honaker, Jr., made me notice this nice curio, by Metin Sariyar:

 The prime number 352757 divides the sum of reversals of the first 757253 primes [Sariyar]

Q. Is there another example like this?


Contributions during the week 25-31 Dec 2020, came from Emmanuel Vantieghem, Giorgos Kalogeropoulos, Oscar Volpatti, Jean-Marc REBERT, Paul Cleary, Simon Cavegn and Metin Sariyar.

I understood puzzle 1025 as follows:
let a(n) be the sum of the reversals of the first n primes;
let q(n) be the reversal of n itself;
we want q(n) to be a prime factor of a(n).

 
I computed p(n), q(n), a(n) up to index n = 10^11:
p(10^11) = 2760727302517;
q(10^11) = 1;
a(10^11) = 361779481107064765431769.

 
I found 3 solutions with n not divisible by 10, so that n is the reversal of q(n) too.
I sorted them by ascending q(n):

 
a(757253) = 8363564040709 = 352757*23709137 (known);
a(198616024) = 837804490805209436 = 420616891*1991846996;
a(176282107) = 714971717854594723 = 701282671*1019520013 (emirp).

 
I also found 28 solutions with n divisible by 10, so that q(n) is much smaller than n itself.
I sorted them by ascending q(n), then by ascending n:

 
a(20) = 792 = 2*396;

714971717854594723/701282671 = 1019520013.

 

The Prime 420616891 divides the sum of the reversal of the first 198616024 primes.

 

837804490805209436/420616891 = 1991846996.

 

I didn’t find anything else up to the sum of the first 3000000000 primes.
