Today, having turned 27181 days old and also 3883 weeks old, I discovered that 27181 is a very special number indeed. It is a sphenic number with the property that when its three prime factors are concatenated in any order, the resultant numbers are all prime. The details are as follows:27181=7×11×353with the concatenated numbers thus being711353,735311,117353,113537,353711,353117In my long journey to this numbered day, there has only been one previous numbered day and that was 3311. Its details are as follows:3311=7×11×43with the concatenated numbers thus being71143,74311,11743,11437,43711,43117In my long journey from womb to tomb, I'm only likely to encounter one further such numbered day and that is 32153. Its details are:32153=11×37×79with the concatenated numbers thus being113779,117937,371179,377911,791137,793711That numbered day falls on Tuesday, April 14th 2037 and I may or may not make it that far. It is shortly after my 88th birthday.
