    Proving and Disproving a Mathematical Problem: Adding Numbers in Any Base

    I asked my teacher for an explanation and this is what he gave me... Choose a number in any base that is two or more digits long. Add all the digits together and keep adding until you have 1 single digit. remember to add in the rules for the base you've chosen. Eg: Base 10...

    Proving and Disproving a Mathematical Problem: Adding Numbers in Any Base

    PROBLEM: For any number in any base at least 2 digits long, if you add them together and solve it the answer will ALWAYS be 1 number less than the base itself. Why this problem works out? Does it apply to anything? What branch of Mathematics? Prove in General sense or disprove. HELP! :eek:
