Honaker, Jr., in July 1998. 30103 is the only known multidigit palindromic prime found by averaging the divisors of a composite number: 30103 = (1 + 5 + 173 + 865 + 29929 + 149645)/6 and 30103 = (1 + 2 + 3 + 6 + 173 + 346 + 519 + 1038 + 29929 + 59858 + 89787 + 179574)/12. 30103 = average of divisors of 149645 and 30103 = average of divisors of 179574.
