Lychrel Number Visualizer

A web application built with Next.js that helps visualize and understand Lychrel numbers through an interactive interface.

What are Lychrel Numbers?

A Lychrel number is a natural number that cannot form a palindrome through the iterative process of reversing its digits and adding the result to the original number. The term "Lychrel" was coined by Wade VanLandingham around 1988.

Example:

• Non-Lychrel number (200):

  200 + 002 = 202 (palindrome found in 1 iteration)
  

• Suspected Lychrel number (196):

  196 + 691 = 887
  887 + 788 = 1675
  1675 + 5761 = 7436
  ...and so on, never forming a palindrome
