In number theory, a narcissistic number [1] [2] (also known as a pluperfect digital invariant (PPDI), [3] an Armstrong number [4] (after Michael F. Armstrong) [5] or a plus perfect number) [6] in a given number base is a number that is the sum of its own digits each raised to the power of the number of digits.
In this way, numbers up to 10 3·999+3 = 10 3000 (short scale) or 10 6·999 = 10 5994 (long scale) may be named. The choice of roots and the concatenation procedure is that of the standard dictionary numbers if n is 9 or smaller. For larger n (between 10 and 999), prefixes can be constructed based on a system described by Conway and Guy. [17]
A list of articles about numbers (not about numerals). Topics include powers of ten, notable integers, prime and cardinal numbers, and the myriad system.
These examples shouldn't have links, since they are base 3 and 4 numbers but the links are to base 10 numbers and so are meaningless --206.171.6.11 15:12, 8 November 2006 (UTC) Some base three Armstrong numbers are: 0,1,2,12,122; Some base four Armstrong numbers are: 0,1,2,3,313

Thus, all Mersenne numbers M 4k +1 are congruent to 11 modulo 20 and end in 11, 31, 51, 71 or 91, while Mersenne numbers M 4k −1 ≡ 7 (mod 20) and end in 07, 27, 47, 67, or 87. For the perfect numbers, define P n = 2 n−1 M n be the value which is perfect if M n is prime.
In mathematics and statistics, sums of powers occur in a number of contexts: . Sums of squares arise in many contexts. For example, in geometry, the Pythagorean theorem involves the sum of two squares; in number theory, there are Legendre's three-square theorem and Jacobi's four-square theorem; and in statistics, the analysis of variance involves summing the squares of quantities.
