Numbers whose Digits are Unchanged when Subtracting Reversal
Theorem
The following sequence consists of the integers which have the property that subtraction of their reversals results in anagrams of them:
- $954, 1980, 2961, 3870, 5823, 7641, 9108, 19980, 29880, 29961, 32760, \ldots$
This sequence is A121969 in the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (N. J. A. Sloane (Ed.), 2008).
