COMMENTS

Of course primes also have this property, trivially.

a(133809) = 4937775 is the first Smith number historically: 4937775 = 3*5*5*65837 and 4+9+3+7+7+7+5 = 3+5+5+(6+5+8+3+7) = 42, Albert Wilansky coined the term Smith number when he noticed the defining property in the phone number of his brother-in-law Harold Smith: 493-7775.

FORMULA

A007953(a(n)) = sum(A007953(A027746(a(n),k)): k=1..A001222(a(n))) and A066247(a(n))=1. [Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 19 2011]

EXAMPLE

58 = 2*29; sum of digits of 58 is 13, sum of digits of 2 + sum of digits of 29 = 2+11 is also 13.

MATHEMATICA

fQ[n_] := !PrimeQ@ n && n>1 && Plus @@ Flatten[ IntegerDigits@ Table[ #[[1]], {#[[2]] }] & /@ FactorInteger@ n] == Plus @@ IntegerDigits@ n; Select[ Range@ 1200, fQ]

PROG

(Sage) is_A006753 = lambda n: n > 1 and not is_prime(n) and sum(n.digits()) == sum(sum(p.digits())*m for p, m in factor(n)) # [D. S. McNeil, Dec 28 2010]

(Haskell)

a006753 n = a006753_list !! (n-1)

a006753_list = [x | x <- a002808_list,

                    a007953 x == sum (map a007953 (a027746_row x))]

-- Reinhard Zumkeller, Dec 19 2011

is(n)=if(isprime(n), 0, my(f=factor(n)); sum(i=1, #f[, 1], dsum(f[i, 1])*f[i, 2])==dsum(n))
