MATH RIDDLE:

I am a number palindrome,

For I am the same, both front and back!

And when added to myself,

The sum’s a palindrome, that’s a fact!

When multiplied by myself,

The result’s a palindrome, as you’ll see,

And if multiplied by the numbers 1 through 9,

The answer is a palindrome!

What number can I be?
