digit sum


Given an integer m consisting of k digits d1,,dk in base b, let

j=i=1kdi,

then j is the digit sum of m. Iterating this operation on the digits of j until j<b gives the digital root or repeated digit sum of m. The digit sum and digital root of a number are the same only if the additive persistence of the digital root is 1.
