A sum of digits, or digital sum, is a number created by taking each digit of one or more other numbers and adding them together.
For example, the sum of digits for the number 12,345
would be 15
because:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15
The sum of digits for the numbers 12,345
and 67,890
together would be 45
because:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 0 = 45
Note that a sum of digits will always be an integer.
