# Problem 4
"""
A palindromic number reads the same both ways. The largest palindrome
made from the product of two 2-digit numbers is 9009 = 91 99.
Find the largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit numbers.

"""
The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is,

The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is,

Hence the difference between the sum of the squares of the first
ten natural numbers and the square of the sum is 3025 385 = 2640.
Find the difference between the sum of the squares of the
first one hundred natural numbers and the square of the sum.
