Python Exercises: Check if a number is a Harshad number or not


In recreational mathematics, a Harshad number in a given number base, is an integer that is divisible by the sum of its digits when written in that base.
Example: The number 18 is a Harshad number in base 10, because the sum of the digits 1 and 8 is 9 (1 + 8 = 9), and 18 is divisible by 9.
The number 19 is not a harshad number in base 10, because the sum of the digits 1 and 9 is 10 (1 + 9 = 10), and 19 is not divisible by 10.
Harshad numbers in base 10 form the sequence:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 18, 20, 21, 24, 27, 30, 36, 40, 42, 45, 48, 50, 54, 60, 63, 70, 72, 80, 81, 84, 90, 100, 102, 108, 110, 111, 112, 114, 117, 120, 126, 132, 133, 135, 140, 144, 150, 152, 153, 156, 162, 171, 180, 190, 192, 195, 198, 200, ....

Write a Python program to check if a given number is a Harshad number or not. Return True if the number is Harshad otherwise False.

Sample Data:
(666) -> True
(11) -> False
(-144) -> None
(200) -> True

Sample Solution-1:

Python Code:

def test(n):
    if (n>0):
        a = 0
        b = n
        while b > 0:
            a = a +  b % 10
            b = b // 10
        return not n % a
     
n = 666
print("Original number:", n)
print("Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!")
print(test(n))
n = 11
print("\nOriginal number:", n)
print("Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!")
print(test(n))
n = -144
print("\nOriginal number:", n)
print("Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!")
print(test(n))
n = 200
print("\nOriginal number:", n)
print("Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!")
print(test(n))

Sample Output:

Original number: 666
Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!
True

Original number: 11
Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!
False

Original number: -144
Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!
None

Original number: 200
Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!
True

Sample Solution-2:

Python Code:

def test(n):
    if (n>0):
        t = sum(map(int, str(n)))
        return not n % t     
n = 666
print("Original number:", n)
print("Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!")
print(test(n))
n = 11
print("\nOriginal number:", n)
print("Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!")
print(test(n))
n = -144
print("\nOriginal number:", n)
print("Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!")
print(test(n))
n = 200
print("\nOriginal number:", n)
print("Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!")
print(test(n))

Sample Output:

Original number: 666
Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!
True

Original number: 11
Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!
False

Original number: -144
Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!
None

Original number: 200
Check the said number is a Harshad number or not!
True
