Since they will not form a palindrome by reversing and adding their digits, are numbers like 295 and 887 also Lychrel Numbers?
Yes. We have defined a Lychrel number like this: Any number, which which does not form a palindrome by reversing and adding it’s digits repetitively. The key point being that the numbers 295, 394 or 493 are also called Lychrel numbers, because they will never form a palindrome. To differentiate between the smallest number of a thread, and all others of the same thread, the terms Seed and Kin numbers must be used. These are explained on the Terms and Definitions page.
