examples of parasitic numbers


When using some scientific calculators in the course of searching for parasitic numbers, it might be useful to work in base 10 first, as such calculators might be incapable of dealing with values other than integer values in the other bases.

In base 10, the following numbers are d1-parasitic (where d1 is the least significant digit): 1, 11, 111, 1111, 11111, 102564, 111111, 1111111, 11111111, 111111111, 1111111111, 11111111111, 102564102564, 111111111111, 1012658227848, 1111111111111, 11111111111111, 111111111111111, 1111111111111111, 11111111111111111, 102564102564102564, 105263157894736842, 111111111111111111, 1111111111111111111, 11111111111111111111, 111111111111111111111, 1014492753623188405797, 1111111111111111111111, 11111111111111111111111, 102564102564102564102564, 111111111111111111111111, 1111111111111111111111111, 11111111111111111111111111, 111111111111111111111111111, 1034482758620689655172413793, 1111111111111111111111111111, etc. In all honesty, however, the repunitsMathworldPlanetmath are parasitic in a trivial sense because of the multiplicative identityPlanetmathPlanetmath. That’s why they’re omitted from the list of d1-parasitic numbers in sequence A081463 of Sloane’s OEIS.

Sequence A092697 lists the smallest di-parasitic numbers for 1<i<10: 1, 102564, 1012658227848, 105263157894736842, 1014492753623188405797, 1034482758620689655172413793, 102040816326530612244897959183673469387755, 10112359550561797752808988764044943820224719, 1016949152542372881355932203389830508474576271186440677966.
