Answer 1

i = 1000000
test = 0
while test == 0:
    i += -1
    str_i = str(i)
    if str_i[0:3] == str_i[3:][::-1]:
        for j in range(100, 1000):
            if i % j == 0:
                if i/j < 1000 and i/j > 100:
                    print('Largest Palindrome: %s = %s * %s' % (i, j, i//j))
                    test = 1
                    break
