A053816 Another version of the Kaprekar numbers (A006886): n such that n = q+r and n^2 = q*10^m+r, for some m >= 1, q >= 0 and 0 <= r < 10^m, with n != 10^a, a >= 1 and n an m-digit number.

Comments

Consider an m-digit number n. Square it and add the right m digits to the left m or m-1 digits. If the resultant sum is n, then n is a term of the sequence.

4879 and 5292 are in A006886 but not in this version.

Shape of plot (see links) seems to consist of line segments whose lengths along the x-axis depend on the number of unitary divisors of 10^m-1 which is equal to 2^w if m is a multiple of 3 or 2^(w+1) otherwise, where w is the number of distinct prime factors of the repunit of length m (A095370). w for m = 60 is 20, whereas w <= 15 for m < 60. This leads to the long segment corresponding to m = 60. - Chai Wah Wu, Jun 02 2016

Example

703 is Kaprekar because 703=494+209, 703^2=494209.
