Automorphic number

In mathematics an automorphic number (sometimes referred to as a circular number) is a number whose square "ends" in the same digits as the number itself. For example, 5 = 25, 6 = 36, 76 = 5776, and 890625 = 793212890625, so 5, 6, 76 and 890625 are all automorphic numbers. The only automorphic Kaprekar number is 1, because the square of a Kaprekar number cannot start with zero.

The sequence of automorphic numbers begins 1, 5, 6, 25, 76, 376, 625, 9376, ... .

Given a k-digit automorphic number n > 1, an automorphic number n′ with at most 2k-digits can be found with the formula:


$$n'=(3\cdot n^2 - 2\cdot n^3) \ \bmod{10^{2k}}\, .$$

For k greater than 1, there are at most two automorphic numbers with k digits, one ending in 5 and one ending in 6. One of them has the form:


$$n\equiv 0 \pmod{2^{k}}, \quad n\equiv 1 \pmod{5^{k}}\, ,$$

and the other has the form:


$$n\equiv 1 \pmod{2^{k}}, \quad n\equiv 0 \pmod{5^{k}}\, .$$

The sum of the two numbers is 10 + 1. The smaller of these two numbers may be less than 10; for example with k = 4 the two numbers are 9376 and 625. In this case there is only one k digit automorphic number; the smaller number could only form a k-digit automorphic number if a leading 0 were added to its digits.

The following digit sequence can be used to find the two k-digit automorphic numbers, where k ≤ 1000.

One automorphic number is found by taking the last k digits of this sequence; the second is found by subtracting the first number from 10 + 1.
