What is Digit Sum?
The digit sum (also called digital sum) is the result of adding all the individual digits in a number. For example, the digit sum of 123 is 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. This concept is used in mathematics, computer science, and numerology for various calculations and validations.
Simple Sum
123 → 1+2+3 = 6
Digital Root
789 → 7+8+9 = 24 → 2+4 = 6
Large Numbers
9876543210 → 45 → 4+5 = 9
Pattern Analysis
111, 222, 333 → 3, 6, 9
Understanding Digital Root
The digital root is the single digit obtained by repeatedly summing the digits of a number until a single digit is reached. It has interesting mathematical properties and is used in various applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between digit sum and digital root?
Digit sum is simply adding all digits once. Digital root continues the process until you get a single digit. For 789: digit sum is 24, digital root is 6.
Can I calculate digit sum for decimal numbers?
Yes! The tool processes all digits including those after the decimal point. For 12.34, the digit sum would be 1+2+3+4 = 10.
Why is digital root useful for checking calculations?
Digital roots preserve certain mathematical properties, so you can verify arithmetic by checking if the digital roots match expected patterns.
How do I use this for divisibility testing?
If the digit sum is divisible by 3 or 9, then the original number is too. This is much faster than doing the actual division for large numbers.
