Harshad Number or Niven Number

The concept of Harshad number was given by D. R. Kaprekar, one of the great mathematicians from the country India. Harshad number or Niven number is any positive integer b that is divisible by its sum of digits (SOD). The term Niven number was coined by Ivan Morton Niven, a Canadian-American mathematician, who specializes in number theory.

As per the definition:

Harshad number b = number / sum of digits

Below are some examples:

Number 12

Sum of digits = 1 + 2 => 3

Here, number 12 is divisible by its sum of digits 3, and the resultant is 4.

Number 18

Sum of digits = 1 + 8 => 9

Here, number 18 is divisible by its sum of digits 9, and the resultant is 2.

Number 72

Sum of digits = 7 + 2 => 9

Here, number 72 is divisible by its sum of digits 9, and the resultant is 8.

Number 110

Sum of digits = 1 + 1 + 0 => 2

Here, number 110 is divisible by its sum of digits 2, and the resultant is 55.

Number 135

Sum of digits = 1 + 3 + 5 => 9

Here, number 135 is divisible by its sum of digits 9, and the resultant is 15.

Hope you have understood the concept of Harshad number or Niven number. In case of any issue, kindly provide your valuable comments regarding the same.

The Number 1.6: Base of Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio

This post is about the number 1.6 that forms the base of the mathematical concepts Fibonacci sequence and the Golden ratio. For better understanding of this amazing number 1.6, it is important to know about Fibonacci sequence and the Golden ratio. Golden Ratio The  Golden ratio is the ratio of a line segment cut into two pieces of distinct lengths such that the ratio of the longer segment to the shorter segment is equal to the whole segment to that of the longer segment. It is denoted by the symbol Phi [ø]. Suppose there is a line segment AB, and C is any point that divides the line segment AB into two pieces of distinct lengths such that AC is greater than CB. Then, as per the definition, [ø] = AC/CB = AB/AC. The value of the Golden ratio [ø] is 1.6 1803398875 . As you can see, the value of the Golden ratio starts with the number 1.6. For more information on the Golden ratio, see https://theamazingconcepts.blogspot.com/2021/07/the-golden-ratio-key-to-amazing-design....

Universe Secret Code 369 Theory

When it comes to the origin of the universe secret code 369 theory, one name associated with this amazing concept is ‘Nikola Tesla’. Nikola Tesla [10 July 1856 – 07 January 1943] was not only a great inventor / scientist, but also the greatest mind of all the time. He has done a plenty of research throughout his life, and highly recognized for his contributions towards the following : High Voltage, High Frequency Power Experiments Alternating Current (AC) Electricity Supply System Apart from the above-mentioned contributions, he has given ‘Universe Secret Code 369 Theory’ and has called the number 369 – the key to the universe. Now the question that will come to the curious minds is that why Nikola Tesla has called this number the key to the universe. The answer to this question is described in this post. Let start with a specific pattern as shown below: 1 1 + 1 => 2 2 + 2 => 4 4 + 4 => 8 8 + 8 => 16; 1 + 6 => 7 16 + 16 => 32; 3 + 2 => 5 >>>>>>...

Nivenmorphic Number or Harshadmorphic Number

A Nivenmorphic number or Harshadmorphic number is a positive integer whose sum of digits is the last digits of the number i.e. the sum of the digits terminates the number. The Concept Step 1:  Take any positive integer. Step 2:  Calculate the sum of the digits of the number. Step 3:  If the sum of the digits is the last digits of the number i.e. the sum of the digits terminates the number, then the number is a Nivenmorphic number or Harshadmorphic number, else not. For Example Number: 16218 Sum of the digits of the number: [1 + 6 + 2 + 1 + 8] => 18 Here, the sum of the digits 18 is the last digits of the number i.e.  the sum of the digits terminates the number.  Hence, the number 16218 is a Nivenmorphic number or Harshadmorphic number. Hope you have understood this amazing concept of Nivenmorphic number or Harshadmorphic number. You can try yourself using any other positive integer. In case of any issue, kindly pro...
