Inverted Primes (Posted on 2006-12-15) Difficulty: 4 of 5
In the window of my pocket calculator, I can see a six-figure number, abcdef, with distinct digits between 1 and 9. A close inspection of the digits reveals that abcdef, cdef, and def are all prime numbers.

If I turn the calculator upside-down, I see that uvwxyz and wxyz are also prime numbers.

Which number is displayed in the window of my pocket calculator and what is the upside-down version of it?

Full credit for this problem goes to Ajit Athle who has very kindly given his permission for the puzzle to be posted here.
