Lychrel Numbers and Palindromes

A palindrome is a number, word or sentence that reads the same forward or backwards.

A palindrome is a number, word or sentence that reads the same forward or backwards. For example: "bob" and "radar" are word palindromes. "Madam, I'm Adam" is a short sentence palindrome. 121 or 36988963 would be a pair of number palindromes.

Do all numbers become palindromes by reversing and adding their numbers??

It seems not.

196 is the first of the Lychrel Numbers.
