Can anybody be kind enough to explain what exactly is a super palindrome?

Also consider the following example :

$923456781-123456789=799999992:9=88888888$

The largest prime factor of $88888888$ is $137$

$88888888:137=648824:101$ ($101$ being largest prime factor of $648824$) = $6424:73$ ($73$ being largest prime factor of $6424$) this in turn equals to $88$ (a palindrome)

Finally, $88:11$ ($11$ being largest prime factor of 88 and a palindrome) equals to $8$ which is also a palindrome.

Now, given this post and its comments, will it be correct to call $88888888$ a super palindrome?

Can it be possible to call a number a super palindrome if it generates non palindromes along with palindromes, provided the non-palindromes finally generate using the method of division by largest prime factor, a palindrome other than 1?

    no problem...it's easy to do, for future reference. Enclose a phrase to use as the active link in square brackets (in your post I used [this post and its comments]) followed immediately with the hyperlink enclosed in regular parentheses.2012-11-03

    @amWhy Do you think that the argument that I have given for calling 88888888 a super palindrome is logically sound? Please refer to [9 hidden in every number regardless of number of digits?](http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/227692/9-hidden-in-every-number-regardless-of-number-of-digits), you will see I am trying to understand whether my approach of generating palindromes, can in turn generate a family of super palindromes.. Please feel free to correct me if i am wrong..2012-11-03
