The natural numbers 0 and 1 are trivial sum-product numbers for all , and all other sum-product numbers are nontrivial sum-product numbers. For example, the number 144 in base 10 is a sum-product number, because 1 + 4 + 4 = 9 {\displaystyle 1+4+4=9} , 1 × 4 × 4 = 16 {\displaystyle 1\times 4\times 4=16} , and 9 × 16 = 144 {\displaystyle 9 ...
In mathematics, summation is the addition of a sequence of numbers, called addends or summands; the result is their sum or total.Beside numbers, other types of values can be summed as well: functions, vectors, matrices, polynomials and, in general, elements of any type of mathematical objects on which an operation denoted "+" is defined.

The n-th harmonic number, which is the sum of the reciprocals of the first n positive integers, is never an integer except for the case n = 1. Moreover, József Kürschák proved in 1918 that the sum of the reciprocals of consecutive natural numbers (whether starting from 1 or not) is never an integer.
Digit sums and digital roots can be used for quick divisibility tests: a natural number is divisible by 3 or 9 if and only if its digit sum (or digital root) is divisible by 3 or 9, respectively. For divisibility by 9, this test is called the rule of nines and is the basis of the casting out nines technique for checking calculations.
The harmonic number with = ⌊ ⌋ (red line) with its asymptotic limit + (blue line) where is the Euler–Mascheroni constant.. In mathematics, the n-th harmonic number is the sum of the reciprocals of the first n natural numbers: [1] = + + + + = =.
The function q(n) gives the number of these strict partitions of the given sum n. For example, q(3) = 2 because the partitions 3 and 1 + 2 are strict, while the third partition 1 + 1 + 1 of 3 has repeated parts. The number q(n) is also equal to the number of partitions of n in which only odd summands are permitted. [20]
Pairwise summation is the default summation algorithm in NumPy [9] and the Julia technical-computing language, [10] where in both cases it was found to have comparable speed to naive summation (thanks to the use of a large base case).
