Challenge 131: Beautiful Numbers

Can you find how many 3 digit beautiful numbers there are?

If you add the 3-digit integer 123 to its “reverse”, 321, you get 444 –another 3-digit integer, but using only one number – in this case, 4.

We will describe an integer with this property as a beautiful number.

How many 3-digit beautiful numbers are there? How many with 4 digits?

Can you generalise?
