Lychrel number
- A Lychrel number is a natural number which cannot form a palindromic number through the iterative process of repeatedly reversing its base 10 digits and adding the resulting numbers.
- The 196-algorithm: Take any number. Reverse its digits, then add both numbers together. If the result is not a palindrome (reads backwards and forwards), repeat the process
- According to conjecture, 196 is the lowest Lychrel number candidate, or lowest number, not known to produce a symmetrical or palindromic number by reversal and addition of the digits
- Because 196 (base-10) is the lowest candidate, it receives the most attention. 196 + 691 = 887, This is not a palindrome. Neither is 887+ 788 = 1675
- An example of a palindromic number: 106 + 601 = 707
- The first few Lychrel number candidates: 196, 295, 394, 493, 592, and 689.
- The 196-algorithm has been repeated almost 700 million times without finding a palindrome, but no one has ever proven that it will never produce one
