The digital root (DR) concept is the idea that any number greater than 9 can be reduced to a single digit by adding the component digits of the number in one or more steps.

Digital Root A simple and useful mathematical concept Division (A/B=C + Remainder)
To use the digital root (DR) concept to check your divisions we follow a slightly different rule i.e. the DR of A must be the same as the DR(B) multiplied by the DR(C) plus the DR(R) (R is the remainder in whole number, if any). Division Example 1 Work out DR of A, B, C and R Reorganise the problem Multiply DR of B and C and add to it DR of R. Find final DR and check if it
equals DR on left side of equation.
