‘DIGITAL’ ROOTS 39 °

Why this should be so is easier to demonstrate by showing
the process as in the following example.

The number 54362 can be expressed as (9 x6040) +2.
Here, 2 is the remainder and therefore the digital root. The
number 54360 can likewise be expressed as (9 X6040) +o,
whence we might assume the root to be nought. But it can
also be expressed as (9 x6039) +9, giving g as a ‘remainder’
and also as the digital root. It is interesting to note that 54360
can also be expressed in other ways, as:

(9 x6038) 418

(9 x6037) +27

(9 x6036) +36
In each case however the ‘remainders’ can themselves be
reduced to the digital root g.

The same principle can be applied to all numbers. The

number 54362 can be expressed as:

(9 Xx6040) +2

(9 x6039) +11

(9 x6038) 420 etc.
and in each case the ‘remainders’ all reduce to the digital
root 2. ‘

It will therefore be seen that any number x will have the
same digital root as x plus or minus any multiple of g.

If x =064 Root=1
x+9=73 ay ik

*~9=355 3 =1

X-~27 =37 abi . 278

From this simple example it follows that if two numbers (or
more) are added together, the root of the total bears a fixed
relationship to the roots of the numbers being added.

64 Root= 1
9 Root= ¢

Add: 73  Add:=10 Reducing to: Root= 1

Since this relationship is fixed, it follows that if the digital
root of the total number cannot be derived from the digital
