PHP Program to Check Armstrong Number

You are Here:

What is Armstrong Number?

An Armstrong number of three digits is an integer such that the sum of the cubes of its digits is equal to the number itself.

For example, 153 is an armstrong number

153 = 13 + 53 + 33
153 = 1 + 125 + 27
153 = 153

Note: Each number is raised to the power of 3, because, the number of digits in 153 is 3.

Tips: It is recommended to use our online Armstrong Number calculator for better understanding.

Check Armstrong Number

In the following example, we will check whether the number 19 is an Armstrong number or not.

Example

PHP Compiler
<?php $num = 19; $copyNum = $num; $digits = 0; $remainder = 0; $total = 0; // find number of digits in num variable while($copyNum != 0) { $digits++; $copyNum = floor($copyNum / 10); } $copyNum = $num; // slice the numbers from last digits while($copyNum != 0) { $remainder = $copyNum % 10; $total += pow($remainder, $digits); $copyNum = floor($copyNum / 10); } // result if($num == $total) echo "$num is an armstrong number"; else echo "$num is not an armstrong number"; ?>

Output

19 is not an armstrong number

Armstrong Numbers between the Given Range

In the following example, we will find all the Armstrong numbers between 1 and 200.

Example

PHP Compiler
<?php $start = 1; $end = 200; $flag = 0; for($start=$start; $start<=$end; $start++) { $copyNum = $start; $total = 0; $digits = 0; $remainder = 0; // find the number of digits in start variable while($copyNum != 0) { $digits++; $copyNum = floor($copyNum / 10); } $copyNum = $start; //slice the start variable from last digit while($copyNum != 0) { $remainder = $copyNum % 10; $total += pow($remainder, $digits); $copyNum = floor($copyNum / 10); } // result if(($start == $total) && ($start != 0)) { if($flag == 0) { echo "Armstrong numbers between $start and $end:<br>"; $flag = 1; } echo "$start "; } } if($flag == 0) echo "There is no armstrong numbers between the given range."; ?>

Output

Armstrong numbers between 1 and 200: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 153
