Take the number 47 as it is written in base 10, and start a Fibonacci-like
sequence from its digits: 4, 7, 11, 18, 29, 47, ...
42, on the other hand, isn’t a Keith number: 4, 2, 6, 8, 14, 22, 36, 58, etc.
For 3-digit numbers, the analogy is to the tribonacci sequence: 1, 9, 7, 17,
33, 57, 107, 197, ...
In binary, 2 is a Keith number: 1, 0, 1, 1, 10, ... Generalizing, b is a Keith
number in base b only if it appears in the Fibonacci sequence, and bx if in the
applicable xbonacci sequence.
