Kaprekar number Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
In mathematics, a Kaprekar number is a number that, in a given base, when squared, can be split into two numbers with the same number of digits as the original number which add up to the original number again. For example, the 3-digit number 703 is a Kaprekar number, because 703² = 494209, because 494209 can be split into 494 and 209, and because 494 + 209 = 703.The first few Kaprekar numbers are (for more terms, see OEIS A006886):
- 1, 9, 45, 55, 99, 297, 703, 999, 2223, 2728, 4879, 4950, 5050, 5292, 7272, 7777, 9999, 17344, 22222, 38962, 77778, 82656, 95121, 99999, 142857, 148149, 181819, 187110, 208495, 318682, 329967, 351352, 356643, 390313, 461539, 466830, 499500, 500500, 533170
