ARMSTRONG NUMBERS
DEFINITION
An Armstrong number or a plus perfect number is a
number that is the sum of its own digits each raised to
the power of the number of digits.
EXAMPLES
1 = 1 x 1 x 1 ; 1 = 1
512 = 8 x 8 x 8 ; 8 = 5 + 1 + 2
4913 = 17 x 17 x 17 ; 17 = 4 + 9 + 1 +
3
5832 = 18 x 18 x 18 ; 18 = 5 + 8 + 3 +
2
17576 = 26 x 26 x 26 ; 26 = 1 + 7 + 5
+ 7 + 6
19683 = 27 x 27 x 27 ; 27 = 1 + 9 + 6
+ 8 + 3

FACTORIAN
1! = 1
2! = 2*1 = 2
145! = 1! + 4! + 5!
40585! = 4!+0!+8!+0!+5!

FRIEDMAN NUMBER
A Friedman number is an integer which, in a given
base, is the result of an expression using all its own
digits in combination with any of the four basic
arithmetic operators (+, −, ×, ÷) and sometimes
exponentiation.
EXAMPLES
25, 121, 125, 126, 127, 128, 153, 216, 289, 343,

MUNCHAUSEN NUMBERS
A Munchausen number is a number that is equal to the sum of its digits each
raised to a power equal to the digit. 0 and 1 are Munchausen numbers in any
base (using the convention that 00 = 0). Apart from 0 and 1 there are only two
other Munchausen numbers in the decimal system:
858986905 1588
6 6 10 Cataldi
137438691 1588
7 328 12 Cataldi

FIBONACCI SERIES
In the 12th century, Leonardo Fibonacci discovered a simple
numerical series
Starting with 0 and 1, each new number in the series is simply the
sum of the two before it.
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, . . .
