A010888 Digital root of n (repeatedly add the digits of n until a single digit is reached). 267

%N Digital root of n (repeatedly add the digits of n until a single digit is reached).

%C This is sometimes also called the additive digital root of n.

%C n mod 9 (A010878) is a very similar sequence.

%C Partial sums are given by A130487(n-1) + n (for n > 0). - _Hieronymus Fischer_, Jun 08 2007

%C Decimal expansion of 13717421/111111111 is 0.123456789123456789123456789... with period 9. - _Eric Desbiaux_, May 19 2008

%C Decimal expansion of 13717421 / 1111111110 = 0.0[123456789] (periodic) - _Daniel Forgues_, Feb 27 2017

%C a(A005117(n)) < 9. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Mar 30 2010

%C My friend Jahangeer Kholdi has found that 19 is the smallest prime p such that for each number n, a(p*n) = a(n). In fact we have: a(m*n) = a(a(m)*a(n)) so all numbers with digital root 1 (numbers of the form 9k + 1) have this property. See comment lines of A017173. Also we have a(m+n) = a(a(m) + a(n)). - _Farideh Firoozbakht_, Jul 23 2010

%F If n = 0 then a(n) = 0; otherwise a(n) = (n reduced mod 9), but if the answer is 0 change it to 9.

%F Equivalently, if n = 0 then a(n) = 0, otherwise a(n) = (n - 1 reduced mod 9) + 1.

%F If the initial 0 term is ignored, the sequence is periodic with period 9.

%F From _Hieronymus Fischer_, Jun 08 2007: (Start)

%F a(n) = A010878(n-1) + 1 (for n > 0).

%F G.f.: g(x) = x*(Sum_{k = 0..8}(k+1)*x^k)/(1 - x^9). Also: g(x) = x(9x^10 - 10x^9 + 1)/((1 - x^9)(1 - x)^2). (End)

%F a(n) = n - 9*floor((n-1)/9), for n > 0. - _José de Jesús Camacho Medina_, Nov 10 2014

%e The digits of 37 are 3 and 7, and 3 + 7 = 10. And the digits of 10 are 1 and 0, and 1 + 0 = 1, so a(37) = 1.
