Multi-base primes

Task
Multi-base primes
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Prime numbers are prime no matter what base they are represented in.

A prime number in a base other than 10 may not look prime at first glance.

For instance: 19 base 10 is 25 in base 7.


Several different prime numbers may be expressed as the "same" string when converted to a different base.

  • 107 base 10 converted to base 6 == 255
  • 173 base 10 converted to base 8 == 255
  • 353 base 10 converted to base 12 == 255
  • 467 base 10 converted to base 14 == 255
  • 743 base 10 converted to base 18 == 255
  • 1277 base 10 converted to base 24 == 255
  • 1487 base 10 converted to base 26 == 255
  • 2213 base 10 converted to base 32 == 255


Task

Restricted to bases 2 through 36; find the strings that have the most different bases that evaluate to that string when converting prime numbers to a base.

Find the conversion string, the amount of bases that evaluate a prime to that string and the enumeration of bases that evaluate a prime to that string.

Display here, on this page, the string, the count and the list for all of the: 1 character, 2 character, 3 character, and 4 character strings that have the maximum base count that evaluate to that string.

Should be no surprise, the string '2' has the largest base count for single character strings.


Stretch goal

Do the same for the maximum 5 character string.

You can't really assume that the maximum string will be all numeric digits. It is just an accident that they happen to work out that way with a upper limit of base 36. If we do the same filtering using a maximum of base 62, we end up with several that contain alphabetics.
