Palindrome Number

Hello All

A positive integer N is a Palindrome if the number obtained by reversing the sequence of the digits of N is equal to N. The year 1991 was the only year of the last century which was a palindromic year.

  1. 1661/11 = 151
    1441/11= 131
    2002/11= 182
    1111/11= 101
    this series can be understood
    eg: 1551/11= 141

    now,
    555/11= 50.45.......aroung 14 times
    767/11= 69.72...14 times and 73
    10101/11=918.27...i4 times and 3

    sir can u explain this one ?????

  2. Well sir.
    A Palindrome year with

    FOUR DIGITS is ALWAYS divisible by 11
    THREE DIGITS is SOMETIMES divisible by 11
    TWO DIGITS is ALWAYS divisible by 11

    This is a direct conclusion of divisibilty rules of 11...
    All paindrome years with 4 digits will have the difference between the sum of dgits at odd places and at even places zero as it is a symmetrical number...

    same applies to a 2-digit palindrome number..

    But with a three digit palindrome year, it is only possible if difference between the sum of digits at odd places and at even places is 0...
    OR
    In simple words if the middle digit is equal to the sum of the digits at the ends, it will definitely get divided by 11, for eg: 363( where 3+3=6, 6 which is the middle term)
    That's all I could conclude...Please explain other things regarding this, if I missed out ...Looking forward to your formal explaination....

  3. 1991/11 =181
    1661/11 =151
    1441/11 =131
    similarly 1881/11 =171

    2002/11 =182
    and the next palindromic year will be 2112
    nd 2112/11 =192
    similarly 2222/11 =202

    All palindrome years with an even number of digits are divisible by 11.
    The first four digit palindrome is 1001 which is divisible by 11. The next four digit palindrome is 1111, which is also divisible by 11 and is 110 bigger than 1001. 110 is important, because not only is it divisible by 11, but every four digit palindrome is x(1001) + y(110), where x is any integer from 1 to 9, and y is any integer from 0 to 9. It is not that difficult to expand this argument to 6 digits, 8 digits and so on.
    Well of the 90 triple digit palindrome numbers, 15 of them are prime.so certainly they cant be divisible by 11.

    so
    A palindrome year that has 4 digits can always be divided by 11.
    A palindrome year that has 3 digits can sometimes be divided by 11.
    A palindrome year that has 2 digits can always be divided by 11

  4. yes... you all have explained this very well.
    There is no special explanation as such required.
    here, FOUR DIGITS is ALWAYS divisible by 11
    THREE DIGITS is SOMETIMES divisible by 11
    TWO DIGITS is ALWAYS divisible by 11
    We may think some questions like how many 2 digit, 3-digit and 4-digit palindromic numbers are possible?
