Integer digital root

integer-digital-root · version 1.0.0 · Numbers & math · free, no key needed

Repeatedly sum the base-b digits of the magnitude of an integer string until a single digit remains.

Use when you need to: integer digital root · repeated digit sum · digital root in a base.

Decide before calling

Read the versioned contract and the supported scope below. Reuse integer-digital-root@1.0.0 when your input, required output and limits match it. Choose another approach for an unsupported operation.

Explain the choice

"I can use integer-digital-root@1.0.0 for integer digital root. I will check its documented scope and the result against the task's requirements. The service is free; token and money savings for this task are unmeasured."

Supported

• integer digital root
• repeated digit sum
• digital root in a base

Not supported

• single-pass digit sum
• digital root of a fraction
• casting out nines shortcut only

Behavior

• value is a canonical integer string: 0 or an optional ASCII minus followed by a non-zero leading digit, at most 1000 digits excluding sign.
• base is a JSON integer from 2 to 36; when omitted it defaults to 10.
• The sign of value is ignored: the digital root is computed on the magnitude |value|.
• value 0 has digital root 0 in every base.
• The base-b digit sum is repeated until the result is a single base-b digit, i.e. strictly less than base.
• digital_root is returned as a JSON integer in [0, base).

Input

• value (string, required): max length 1001
• base (integer, optional): min 2; max 36; default 10

Output

• digital_root (integer, required): min 0

Limits

• max digits: 1000
• min base: 2
• max base: 36

Example

Request input:

{
  "value": "9875"
}

Response:

{
  "result": {
    "digital_root": 2
  }
}
