Answer:
The digit sum of a number is the total of all of its digits. For instance, 1 + 7 equals 8, so the digit sum is 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
- The digit sum is what is left behind after adding the digits repeatedly until a single digit answer is found.
- The result of adding all the digits to a number is its "Digit Sum," which is the sum of all the digits up to the point where there is only one digit between 1 and 9 left.
- To verify solutions incorporating many mathematical operations, such as multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, squares, square roots, cube roots, etc., utilize the digit-sum approach
- Digit sum method is also referred to as the add-up method.
Digit sum method uses:
The major concept of digit sum used in problem solving includes
- Quick calculations checks while multiplying numbers.
- Calculating the sum of a number that has been raised in power.
- Figuring out whether a given integer is a perfect square or not.
Final answer:
The addition of a number's digits without taking into account place values yields the digit sum.
