A palindromic number is any number that reads the same (numerically) from the left side to the right side, and also from the right side to the left side. Other examples of such numbers are such as 1221, 34543, 677776.

Natural numbers start with 1, while non-negative integers start with 0. So, 666 is the 667th non-negative integer.

The first few Fibonacci numbers are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8... The subsequent number is the sum of its 2 previous numbers. However, the number 666 is not in the list.
2. The number 666 can be expressed as a simple sum and difference of the first three natural (counting) numbers raised to the xth power, that is, 666 = 1^x - 2^x + 3^x. What is x?

Answer: 6

Notice that 666 = 1^6 - 2^6 + 3^6. Here, the number 6 appears 3 times again.
3. The number 666 is the sum of its digits plus the cubes of its digits, that is 666 = 6 + 6 + 6 + 6^3 + 6^3 + 6^3.

Answer: Triangular

We can find out the sum of the first 36 counting numbers by using the formula (n/2)(a+b), where n is the number of elements, a is the first term and b is the last term. Hence, the sum of the first 36 natural numbers = (36/2)(1+36) = 666.

A triangular number is any number that can be expressed as the sum of the first n natural numbers. Hence, the first few triangular numbers are 1, 3, 6, 10 and 15.
