A frugal number is a natural number that has more digits than the number of digits in its prime factorization (including exponents). For example, using base-10 arithmetic, the first few frugal numbers are 125 (53), 128 (27), 243 (35), and 256 (28). Frugal numbers also exist in other bases; for instance, in binary arithmetic thirty-two is a frugal number, since 10101 = 100000.
