 Find all numbers which are integral multiples of their reversals.
 Answer (Sloane's A031877) : for instance, among numbers of four digits,
 8712 = 4 x 2178
 and
 9801 = 9 x 1089
 Numbers that are integer multiples of their reversals are called palintiples.
 Dan Hoey made a study and published his Solution to the /arithmetic/digits/palintiples problem.
 
 From “Mathematical Magic Show” by Martin Gardner, page 211Any number of  9's can be inserted in the middle of each number
 to obtain larger (but dull) numbers with the same property;
 for instance, 21999978 x 4 = 87999912.
 Larger numbers can also be fabricated by repeating each fourdigit number:thus, 2178 2178 2178 x 4 = 8712 8712 8712
 and 1089 1089 1089 x 9 = 9801 9801 9801.
 Of course numbers such as 21999978 may also be repeated to produce reversible numbers.
 Some considerations1089 is the square of a palindrome namely ( 33 )
 9801 is the square of a palindrome namely ( 99 )
 9801  1089 equals 8712 which is the first example !
 8712  2178 equals 6534
 6534  4356 equals 2178. The circle is closed !
 
 From “Figuring - The Joy of Numbers” by Shakuntala Devi, page 70 and 122"Numbers made up only of threes have a special pattern of squares"
 33 2 = 1089
 333 2 = 110889
 3333 2 = 11108889
 33333 2 = 1111088889
 333333 2 = 111110888889
 Note that 33 equals 1! + 2! + 3! + 4!and that 33 equals 14 + 25
 "The number 1089 has some peculiar traits.For instance look at the pattern that is formed when it is multiplied by the numbers 1 to 9 :"
 1089 x 1 = 1089 --- 9801 = 1089 x 9
 1089 x 2 = 2178 --- 8712 = 1089 x 8
 1089 x 3 = 3267 --- 7623 = 1089 x 7
 1089 x 4 = 4356 --- 6534 = 1089 x 6
 1089 x 5 = 5445
 
 The following comes from Shakuntala Devi's book“Figuring - The Joy of Numbers” page 123 :
 Multiplying the number 12345679 by the multiples of 9,
 gives a curious set of palindromic patterns :
 12345679 x 9 = 11111111112345679 x 18 = 222222222
 12345679 x 27 = 333333333
 and so on.
 Multiplying by 999999999 itself gives a number which is a mirror image of itself12345679 x 999999999 = 12345678987654321
 incidentally, this product is a perfect square. It's also Palindromic Square [92]
 111111111 2 = 12345678987654321 Many people find the above square quite useless but nevertheless fascinating !
