Always End With 1089
Add two number together and always end with 1089.
Here is How:
| Pick a three digit number. The three numbers used must be different*. i.e. 123 |  |
Reverse that number. 123 becomes 321 |
| ||
| Take the smallest three digit number from the largest. 321 - 123 = 198 |
|
Take the answer and reverse that number. 198 becomes 891 |
|
| ||
| Add that number to the answer of the subtraction. 891 + 198 = 1089 | |
The answer will be 1089! |
So Why does it do this?

A Little Footnote
But I ended with 198 not 1089 ... !
This happens if you pick a number like 546.
546 goes like this: 645-546=99, then 99+99=198.
BUT if you assume that 099 is a 3 digit number, you will get:
990-099=891, and 891+198=1089
*If you don't pick three different numbers then this might happen:
343-343=0, 0+0=0
