# Find M-th number whose repeated sum of digits of a number is N in C++

C++Server Side ProgrammingProgramming

In this problem, we are given two positive numbers N and M. Our task is to find the M-th number whose repeated sum of digits of a number is N.

Problem description: Here, we need to find the Mth number whose sum of digits till the sum becomes single digit is equal to N.

Let’s take an example to understand the problem,

Input: N = 4 M = 6

Output: 49

## Solution Approach

A simple solution of the problem, is by finding all numbers and count the number whose sum of digits is N, and return m-th number.

Another solution to the problem is using formula to find M-th number whose sum of digits is equal to N,

M-th number = (m-1)*9 + N

## Example

Live Demo

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main() {

int n = 4, m = 6;
int mNumber = (m - 1) * 9 + n;
cout<<m<<"-th number whose repeated sum of digits of a number is "<<n<<" is "<<mNumber;
return 0;
}

## Output

6-th number whose repeated sum of digits of a number is 4 is 49
