Armstrong number
Given a base b integer
n=k∑i=1dibi-1 |
where d1 is the least significant digit and dk is the most significant, if it’s also the case that for some power m the equality
n=k∑i=1dim |
also holds, then n is an Armstrong number or narcissistic number or plus perfect number or perfect digital invariant.
In any given base b there is a finite amount of Armstrong numbers, since the inequality k(b-1)m>bk-1 is false after a certain threshold.
