COMMENTS

Niven (or Harshad) numbers are numbers that are divisible by the sum of their digits.

Does a(n) exist for all n? - Klaus Brockhaus, Sep 19 2008

LINKS

Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics, Harshad Number

EXAMPLE

a(14) = 3 since neither 1*14 or 2*14 are Niven numbers, but 3*14 = 42 is a Niven number: 42 = 7*(4+2).

PROG

(PARI) digitsum(n) = {local(s=0); while(n, s+=n%10; n\=10); s} {for(n=1, 100, k=1; while((p=k*n)%digitsum(p)>0, k++); print1(k, ", "))} /* Klaus Brockhaus, Sep 19 2008 */
