In number theory, a frugal number is a natural number in a given number base that has more digits than the number of digits in its prime factorization in the given number base (including exponents).^[1] For example, in base 10, 125 = 5³, 128 = 2⁷, 243 = 3⁵, and 256 = 2⁸ are frugal numbers (sequence A046759 in the OEIS). The first frugal number which is not a prime power is 1029 = 3 × 7³. In base 2, thirty-two is a frugal number, since 32 = 2⁵ is written in base 2 as 100000 = 10¹⁰¹.

The term economical number has been used for a frugal number, but also for a number which is either frugal or equidigital.

Mathematical definition[edit]

Let $b>1$ be a number base, and let $K_{b}(n)=\lfloor \log _{b}{n}\rfloor +1$ be the number of digits in a natural number $n$ for base $b$ . A natural number $n$ has the prime factorisation

n=\prod _{\stackrel {p\,\mid \,n}{p{\text{ prime}}}}p^{v_{p}(n)}

where $v_{p}(n)$ is the p-adic valuation of $n$ , and $n$ is an frugal number in base $b$ if

K_{b}(n)>\sum _{\stackrel {p\,\mid \,n}{p{\text{ prime}}}}K_{b}(p)+\sum _{\stackrel {p^{2}\,\mid \,n}{p{\text{ prime}}}}K_{b}(v_{p}(n)).
