I'm Korean so I don't write English well...
So I wanna ask you A question about prime
The question is this.
p, q is prime (both) and they are satisfied "q = 2p + 1" than, proof this thesis
"multiple about P always have the number that The total number of digits is 3 or less."
Sorry about my English skill
example
p = 11, q = 23
q x 87 = 23 x 87 = 2001
2 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 3
