Searching for Narcissistic Numbers by Computer.

Lamb, John F., Jr.

School Science and Mathematics, v86 n1 p39-42 Jan 1986

A narcissistic number is a positive integer equal to the sum of its digits raised to an integral power. For example, 15 is equal to 1-cubed plus 5-cubed plus 3-cubed (a narcissistic number of order three). A computer program to find narcissistic numbers up to 10,000 is given and discussed. (JN)
