IBM Ponder This #144 · April 2010

This month's challenge is based on a suggestion from Leo Broukhis.

The prime number 4535653, when translated to base 16, gives the hexadecimal number 0x453565, which has the same digits as the original number, omitting the last digit.

Find another example of a prime number that, translated to hexadecimal, yields the same digits, omitting the last 21 digits.
