Feather

Six digits that can't even sum to double digits.

A number of 100,000 or more whose digits sum to 9 or less. Like 100000 (sum 1) or 100008 (sum 9) — big frame, feather weight.

There are 3,004 feather numbers in range, 0.30%, about 1 in 333 — rarer than heavy (0.50%). A six-digit frame with a single-digit sum means the body is almost all zeros, propped up by a few small digits.

Its structure dictates its look: the leading digit must be 1–9 (otherwise it wouldn't be six digits) and the remaining five are nearly all zeros. Typical members like 100008, 200001, 300000 — a head, a tail, and a desert in between. 1,000,000 sneaks in with digit sum 1 as the list's only seven-digit member.

Feather and heavy are a symmetric design at the two tails of the bell curve — but the no-leading-zero rule costs feather some two thousand seats. Two traits that should mirror each other, teaching you via exact counts the difference between "roughly symmetric" and "exactly symmetric".

Smallest examples

Notable examples

1,000,000 The range ceiling itself, digit sum 1 — the only seven-digit feather, and a round thousand too.
100,000 The smallest six-digit number is already feather: a 1 followed by five zeros — traveling light.
