Abstract

Let g2g \geq 2 be an integer. A natural number is said to be a base-gg Niven number if it is divisible by the sum of its base-gg digits. Assuming Hooley's Riemann Hypothesis, we prove that the set of base-gg Niven numbers is an additive basis, that is, there exists a positive integer CgC_g such that every natural number is the sum of at most CgC_g base-gg Niven numbers.
