# What is an armstrong number?

UnCategorised, Sachin Puri, 2012-05-24 20:26:47

An Armstrong number is a n digit number, which is equal to the sum of the nth powers of its digits.

All the 1 digit numbers (1-9) are Armstrong number because

• 1*1=1 which is equals to number (1) itself,
• 2*1=2 which is equals to number(2) itself so on for all the 1 digit numbers (1-9).

There are no 2 digit Armstrong numbers.

An Armstrong number of three digit is a number such that that sum of the cubes of it's digits is equal to the number itself. so to check if a 3 digit number is an armstrong number or not we have to multiply all the three digits with itself 3 times.

For example 153 is an Armstrong number because cube of 1 is 1(1x1x1=1) + cube of 5 is 125(5*5*5=125) + cube of 3 is 27(3*3*3=27). Now add all the cubes 1+125+27=153 which is equals to number itself

### Example 1: Check if 153 is an armstrong number or not

There are three digits in 153. First Digit is 1, Second digit is 5, and Third digit is 3.

Now,

We will multiply each of these three digits i.e 1,5,3 with itself 3 times because there are 3 digits in 153

So,

```1 * 1 * 1 =   1

5 * 5 * 5 = 125

3 * 3 * 3 =  27
___________________
Sum of=  153
```

Because the sum is equals to the digit itself, so we can say that 153 is an armstrong number.

### Example 2: Check if 154 is an armstrong number or not

```1 * 1 * 1 =   1

5 * 5 * 5 = 125

4 * 4 * 4 =  64
___________________
Sum of=  190

```

So in this example we can see that when we multiply each digit of 154 (i.e. 1 and 5 and 4) with itself 3 times (because 153 has three digits) we get these three numbers (1 and 125 and 64) and then we add these numbers i.e 1+125+64 we get 190

Because the sum 190 is not equals to the digit (154) itself, so we can say that 154 is not an armstrong number.

### Example 3: Check if 370 is an armstrong number or not

```3 * 3 * 3 =  27

7 * 7 * 7 = 343

0 * 0 * 0 =   0
___________________
Sum of=  370

```

So in this example we can see that when we multiply each digit of 370 (i.e 3 and 4 and 0) with itself 3 times (because 370 has three digits) we get these three numbers (27 and 343 and 0) and then we add these numbers i.e 27+343+0 we get 370

Because the sum 370 is equals to the digit 370 itself, so we can say that 370 is an armstrong number.

### Some Exercises for you:

Check if these are armstrong numbers or not,

C program to print Armstrong numbers from 1 to 500 #include int main(){ int num,r,sum,temp; for(num=1;num<=500;num++){ temp=num; sum = 0; while(temp!=0){ r=temp%10; temp=temp/10; sum=sum+(r*r*r); } if(sum==num) printf("%d ",num); } return 0; } Output: 1 153 370 371 407

We don't consider 1 as armstrong no is 3 digit. If we are calculating armstrong number of three digits we will consider only those numbers which have 3 digits in it.
