how to generate palindromic numbers?how can we generate a palindrome frm a given numbr..is der any generalized method for generating palindromic numbers?..and also...is there palindromes in decimals and frctions?

I believe a palindrome is something that reads the same regardless of direction. 1221 would be a palindrome, I believe. WOW would be a true palindrome because the word would look the same in a mirror.

As everyone else so far has been saying. It has the same number sequence forwards as backwards.
12321
Word ones are more fun:
A man, a plan, a canal – Panama
He won a Toyota now, eh? ...... stuff like that
The first source will get you that little bit plus lots of others. The second will take you to Dr Math and goes into a little more detail on palindrome numbers plus other kinds of numbers (HAPPY numbers, WEIRD numbers, NARCISSISTIC numbers - bet you never knew that there were all these types of numbers and more).
In case you don't want to pay Dr Math a visit, this is what he says about creating a palindrome number out of some less special number.
There's a simple way to turn most numbers into palindromic numbers:
Pick a number: 19
Reverse its digits: 91
Add them together: 110
Repeat the process: 011
Until you get a palindromic number. 121
As far as being decimals, yes. But they must read exactly the same backwards as forwards:
23.32 is a palindrome but 233.2 is not because of the location of the decimal point.
As far as fractions I don't think so. I mean a fraction is one number divided by another, say 2/3, and how would you define a palindrome for that? I guess something like 21/12. But I have never seem mention of these on any of the web sites I have looked at.
The last source is if you just want to read some interesting math stuff.

A palindrome is number or a word, that looks the same when reversed.
Examples for palindromic numbers are 15651,121,111,etc.

A number that reads the same forwards and backwards, like 323.
