Numeric Palindromes (2024)


What is a Palindrome?
A palindrome is a word, which readsbackwards the same as it does forwards. Well known examples are Anna orradar.
You can apply this principle tonumbers. For instance 1001 or 69896 are palindromes.

Counting thePalindromes

All the digits are palindromes (1,2,3,...,9).

There are also 9 palindromes with two digits(11,22,33,...,99).

You can find to every two-digit number one, and only onenumber with three digits and with four digits.
For example: For the number 34 there are 343 and 3443.
You can conclude that there are 90 palindromes withthreeand also 90 palindromes with four digits.

You can find to every three-digit number one, and onlyone number with five digits and with six digits.
For example: To the number 562 there are 56265 and 562265.
You can conclude that there are 900 palindromes withfiveand 900 palindromes with six digits.

You have 9+9+90+90+900+900 = 1998 palindromes up to onemillion. That's 0,1998 %. About every 500th number is a palindrome.

Position ofthe Palindromestop
But they are not spread over all numbers regularly. Thisshows the following picture, which includes the first 1000 numbers.

Numeric Palindromes (1)
The numbers are illustrated in a 100x100 square. The numbersare ordered in the same way as you write. One line shows 100 numbers.

And so it goes on.

I suppose that all products with the digit 1 are palindromes,if one.factor has at the most 9 digits.
All palindromes have the shape 123.....321.

196-Problem top
Pick a number. Add the number, which you must read fromthe right to the left (mirror number), to the original number. Maybe thesum is a palindrome. If the sum isn't a palindrome, add the mirror numberof the sum to the sum. Maybe you have a palindrome now, otherwise repeatthe process. Nearly all numbers have a palindrome in the end.
Example: 49 49+94=143143+341= 484 !
There are some numbers, which have no palindromes. Thelowest one is 196. But the proof is still missing.
