An Introduction To Stifled Numbers By Adi Cox

9/2/2013

______________________________________________________________________________
Stifled Numbers are numbers whose digits add up to its base. So there can be no
single digit stifled number in any base. In base ten the set 2s10 has 9 two
digit stifled numbers:
2s10 = {19, 28, 37, 46, 55, 64, 73, 82, 91}

The set 3s10 has 54 three digit stifled numbers in base ten:
3s10 = {109,

So from the above we can see that there are 281 base 10 stifled digits less than
10000.
Greater Stifled Numbers
Greater Stifled Numbers are numbers whose digits add up to a value greater than
its base.
In base ten the set 2s>10 has 36 two digit greater stifled numbers:
2s>10 = {29,
38, 39,
47, 48,
56, 57,
65, 66,
74, 75,
83, 84,
92, 93,

69,
78, 79,
87, 88, 89,
96, 97, 98, 99}

Lesser Stifled Numbers

Lesser Stifled Numbers are numbers whose digits add up to a value less than its
base.
In base ten the set 1s<10 has 10 one digit lesser stifled numbers:
1s<10 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
In base ten the set 2s<10 has 43 two digit lesser stifled numbers:
2s<10 = {10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18,
20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27,
30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36,
40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45,
50, 51, 52, 53, 54,

60, 61, 62, 63,

70, 71, 72,
80, 81,
90}
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Binary
In base 2, any number that is 2^a + 2^b is a stifled number where a and b are
positive integers and are not equal.
