I'm searching for an algorithm for Digit summing. Let me outline the basic principle:
Say you have a number: 18268
.
1 + 8 + 2 + 6 + 8 = 25
2 + 5 = 7
And 7 is our final number. It's basically adding each number of the whole number until we get down to a single (also known as a 'core') digit. It's often used by numerologists.
I'm searching for an algorithm (doesn't have to be language in-specific) for this. I have searched Google for the last hour with terms such as digit sum algorithm
and whatnot but got no suitable results.
Any help would be great, thanks.
