'We have 3333 registered users.' :) : How do you call this kind of numbers?

[Tamara]

Hi

Is there any special word in English for numbers like 3333 from the phrase I quoted?

(It’s definitely not a so-called 'round number' and I just don’t know how can I congratulate the english-test.net team 'right'. With what. )

Anyway, my congratulations to all!

That's a good number, congratulations, English-test.net!

(How observant you are, Tamara!)

These are called symmetrical o reversible numbers.

There's a funny name for this in Spanish, which is also used for palindromes: it's 'capic?a' (from the Latin words for 'head' and 'tail'.

Thanks, Conchita.

Now we have one more member, that's also great!

Hi Tamara,

I've found some information referring to your question.

Tamara, for your German-lessons:

Numbers with some same cyphers are called "Schnapszahl"

Hi!

Thanks for the link, Pamela.
This actually is my old question… and each time in reality I’m in doubt, which form is 'more appropriate' to be used.

The next Big Number is, what, 3456?

This is called a Small Straight.
