    let's say d is a divisor of n and if the string s can be represented as a repeating sequence of length d. Then d is the period of s. Let's define the magic number of strings = minimum period d of the string.

    For example, the magic number of the string "abcabcabc" = 3.

    suppose if a string s is a palindrome, with the magic number d. Then string containing the first d characters of s is also a palindrome?

    For example, "abaabaaba" has a magic number = 3, and "aba" is also a palindrome.

    So can you try now?
