Sum of digit
The digit sum of a number, say 152, is just the sum of
the digits, 1+5+2=8. If the sum of the digits is greater than nine then the
process is repeated. For example, the sum of the digits for 786 is 7+8+6=21 and
the sum of the digits for 21 is 3 so the digit sum of 786 is 3. In some laces
this concept of the digit sum of a number is called its reduced digit
sum, but that terminology becomes too cumbersome. As in the preceding material
the sum of the digit of a number may be different from its digit sum. The digit
sum is the end result of repeatedly computing the sum of the digits until a
single digit answer is obtained. The digit sum of a number n is denoted as
DigitSum(n).
