Example Data Table

Number Prime Factors Digit Sum Factor Digit Sum Smith Number?
4 2 × 2 4 4 Yes
22 2 × 11 4 4 Yes
27 3 × 3 × 3 9 9 Yes
58 2 × 29 13 13 Yes
21 3 × 7 3 10 No

Formula Used

Digit Sum of the Number: S(n) = sum of every decimal digit in n.

Prime Factor Digit Sum: F(n) = sum of the digit sums of all prime factors, counted with multiplicity.

Smith Number Rule: A number is Smith when it is composite and S(n) = F(n).

Factorization Method: The calculator uses repeated division by prime candidates until the full prime factor list is produced.

FAQs

1. What is a Smith number?

A Smith number is a composite integer whose digit sum equals the combined digit sum of its prime factors, counted with multiplicity. Prime numbers do not qualify.

2. Does 4 count as a Smith number?

Yes. The digit sum of 4 is 4, and its prime factors are 2 and 2. Their digit sums add to 4, so it qualifies.

3. Are prime numbers ever Smith numbers?

No. By definition, a Smith number must be composite. Even if a prime has the same digit sum as itself, it is excluded.

4. Why are repeated prime factors counted separately?

Multiplicity is part of the definition. For example, 27 factors as 3 × 3 × 3, so the digit sum of 3 is added three times.

5. Can I test negative numbers or decimals?

No. This tool is designed for positive whole numbers only. Smith number testing starts with composite integers, so decimals and negatives are not valid inputs.

6. What does the nearby search radius do?

It scans numbers above and below your input within the chosen distance. The tool then lists nearby Smith numbers and sorts them by closeness.

7. Can large values be checked?

Yes, but very large integers may take longer because prime factorization becomes more expensive as the number size increases.

8. What do the CSV and PDF downloads include?

The exports include the checked number, classification, digit sums, factorization, factor digit breakdown, selected radius, and nearby result count.
