Negadecimal


The negadecimal representation of a number n is its representation in base -10 (i.e., base negative 10). It is therefore given by the coefficients a_na_(n-1)...a_1a_0 in

where a_i=0, 1, ..., 9.

The negadecimal digits may be obtained with the Wolfram Language code

  Negadecimal[0] := {0}
  Negadecimal[i_] := Rest @ Reverse @
     Mod[NestWhileList[(# - Mod[#, 10])/-10&,
       i, # != 0& ], 10]

The following table gives the negadecimal representations for the first few integers (A039723).

The numbers having the same decimal and negadecimal representations are those which are sums of distinct powers of 100: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 200, ... (OEIS A051022).
