Smith Number
In number theory, a Smith number is a composite number for which, in a given number base, the sum of its digits is equal to the sum of the digits in its prime factorization in the given number base. In the case of numbers that are not square-free, the factorization is written without exponents, writing the repeated factor as many times as needed. Smith numbers were named by Albert Wilansky of Lehigh University, as he noticed the property in the phone number (493-7775) of his brother-in-law Harold Smith: : 4937775 = 31 52 658371 while : 4 + 9 + 3 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 5 = 3 · 1 + 5 · 2 + (6 + 5 + 8 + 3 + 7) · 1 = 42 in base 10.Sándor & Crstici (2004) p.383 Mathematical definition Let n be a natural number. For base b > 1, let the function F_(n) be the digit sum of n in base b. A natural number n has the integer factorisation : n = \prod_ p^ and is a Smith number if : F ...
