Harshad number en · NOUN

Etymology

Coined by Indian recreational mathematician D. R. Kaprekar, from Sanskrit हर्षद (harṣada, “giving joy”). The capitalization is likely based on mathematicians' incorrect assumption that harshad is a proper noun.

Meanings

  1. A positive integer which is divisible by the sum of all of its digits.
    • The sum of digits of 24 is 2 + 4 = 6, and 24 is divisible by 6, so 24 is a Harshad number.
