The definition of digital root is "The digital root (also repeated digital sum) of a non-negative integer is the (single digit) value obtained by an iterative process of summing digits, on each iteration using the result from the previous iteration to compute a digit sum. The process continues until a single-digit number is reached". Basically, you start with a large number. You add the separate digits of this number together to get a new number. You repeat this process until you reach one single digit.
For example, let's start with 123456.
1+2+3+4+5+6= 21
Because the answer is more than one digit, we add the separate digits of 21 together.
2+1=3
Therefore, the digital root of 123456 is 3.
Digital roots can be found in words too,
using the pattern a=1, b=2, c=3... x=24, y=25, z=26 to give each letter a numeric value.
So to find the digital root of "apple",
we first need to figure out each letter's numeric value.
a=1, p=16, p=16, l=12, e=5
1+16+16+12+5=50
5+0=5
So, the digital root of apple is 5.
