Both spellings, "Harshad" or "harshad", are in use. It is a Sanskrit word, and in Sanskrit there is no distinction between upper- and lower-case letters. - N. J. A. Sloane, Jan 04 2022
z-Niven numbers are numbers n which are divisible by (A*s(n) + B) where A, B are integers and s(n) is sum of digits of n. Niven numbers have A = 1, B = 0. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Feb 23 2008
A049445 is a subsequence of this sequence. - Ctibor O. Zizka, Sep 06 2010
A001101, the Moran numbers, are a subsequence. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 16 2011
A140866 gives the number of terms <= 10^k. - Robert G. Wilson v, Oct 16 2012
The asymptotic density of this sequence is 0 (Cooper and Kennedy, 1984). - Amiram Eldar, Jul 10 2020

Named "Harshad numbers" by the Indian recreational mathematician Dattatreya Ramchandra Kaprekar (1905-1986) in 1955. The meaning of the word is "giving joy" in Sanskrit.
Named "Niven numbers" by Kennedy et al. (1980) after the Canadian-American mathematician Ivan Morton Niven (1915-1999). During a lecture given at the 5th Annual Miami University Conference on Number Theory in 1977, Niven mentioned a question of finding a number that equals twice the sum of its digits, which appeared in the children's pages of a newspaper.
