R is a whole number, a prime to the power of a prime.?
Each of its digits is also a prime to the power of a prime. What is R?

The previous answers assume each digit of R is a prime, but the question says it is a prime to the power of a prime
The possible digits in R are 4=2^2, 8=2^3, 9=3^2. Some possible R values:
4=2^2
8=2^3
9=3^2
67^2=4489
666667^2 = 444444888889
974417^2 = 949488489889
Any prime consisting of 6's followed by a 7 works.
That gives these solutions and probably infinitely many more:
((2*10^n+1)/3)^2, for n = 2, 6, 8, 9, 11, 20, 23, 41, 63, 66, 119, 122, 149, 252, 284, 305, 592, 746, 875, 1204, 1364, 2240, 2403, 5106, 5776, 5813, 12456, 14235, 39606, 55544, 84239.
Some of the large terms correspond to probable primes.

2^5 = 32
3^3 = 27
5^2 = 25
That's the only case where you take the prime^2, since except for 2 and 5, p^2 ends in a 1 or a 9. (This is because p other than 2 or 5 must be odd and end in 1, 3, 7 or 9, so p^2 ends in 1 or 9.)
While searching, I found this interesting number. It's not all primes but I think it's pretty cool:
71^3 = 357911
that 3 5 7 9 11, five consecutive even numbers.
1's not a prime, but
137^3 = 2571353 comes very close to qualifying.
Those were all I could find. I did a computer search at least up to the 50th power for primes up to 113 and didn't find any others. In fact, there weren't any p^n for ANY n <= 50, prime or composite (excluding n=1) where the digits were all prime.
It's a bit surprising that 32 might be the largest such number.

25 is one solution. Twenty five is the same as 5² and both 5 and 2 are prime. Each digit in 25 is also prime.

i think of everyone considering marriage might desire to be open to occasional visits to a marriage counselor or another sort of couples therapy each 4 years or so. Us human beings grow to be complacent with issues and after awhile do no longer comprehend that we lose sensitivity and empathy in direction of our mate. i think of it is going the two techniques (husband and spouse). the two might desire to grow to be greater constructive listeners and ask permission earlier giving concepts to your mate or everyone for that remember. You the two might desire to verify that each guy or woman's contribution to the dating is equivalent whether the different contributes greater or much less financially. there is greater too, yet i will provide up right here. Being single, might for sure be "much less complicated" interior the experience that neither occasion might "might desire to alter". There may be no call for to be empathetic to a various guy or woman's desires; yet oh, so lonely do no longer you think of? i became as quickly as instructed by a robust kinfolk chum (who became divorced with one baby - my sturdy chum) whilst i became sixteen that there became no sturdy reason to get married except you wanted to have infants. infants choose the two mom and dad. i think of there is something to her fact, yet i've got no longer been completely confident.
