Special Number C Program

By | March 11, 2016

Let us learn what is a special integer and how to implement special number in C programming language. This C program for Krishna Murthy Number makes use of while loop which helps in the iterative process.

It is important to know factorial program in C before proceeding with the following code. We’ve also demonstrated how to check special numbers from 1 till N in C programming.

What is a Special Number?

A number is said to be a special number if the sum of the factorial of every digit is equal to the number itself. It is, therefore, important to know how to find the factorial of a number to calculate Krishna Murthy number.

A special number is alternatively known as Krishna Murthy’s Number. Prof. Krishna Murthy is an IIT graduate and has formulated the special number concept.

Example

145 = 1! + 4! + 5!
40585 = 4! + 0! + 5! + 8! + 5!

Method 1: Check Special Number in C Programming with While Loop

If the function isSpecial() returns a value 1, then the entered number is a special integer or the Krishna Murthy number. If the function returns 0, then it is not a special integer.

 

Output

Check Special Number in C Programming Language

    This is amazing. Special number seems to be a combination of Armstrong Number and Factorial concepts in C Programming.

    i wanna c code of ->special number which means the sum of the sum of its digits and the product of its digit is equal to the number itself .example 19 is a special number as 1+9=10 and 1*9=9 so 10+9=19.
    so i want c program to find these numbers between limits.
