%N Palindromes in base 10 >= 256 that remain palindromes when the digits are reversed in base 256.

%C Reversing the digits in base 256 is equivalent to reading a number in big-endian format using little-endian order with 8-bit words. See also A238853.

%e 2857582 is in the sequence since 2857582 is 2b 9a 6e in base 16 and 6e 9a 2b = 7248427 is a palindrome.
