Task
Increasing gaps between consecutive Niven numbers
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Note:   Niven   numbers are also called   Harshad   numbers.

  They are also called   multidigital   numbers.


Niven numbers are positive integers which are evenly divisible by the sum of its digits   (expressed in base ten).

Evenly divisible   means   divisible with no remainder.


Task
  •   find the gap (difference) of a Niven number from the previous Niven number
  •   if the gap is   larger   than the (highest) previous gap,   then:
  •   show the index (occurrence) of the gap     (the 1st gap is 1)
  •   show the index of the Niven number that starts the gap     (1st Niven number is 1,   33rd Niven number is 100)
  •   show the Niven number that starts the gap
  •   show all numbers with comma separators where appropriate   (optional)
  •   I.E.:   the gap size of   60   starts at the   33,494th   Niven number which is Niven number   297,864
  •   show all increasing gaps up to the   ten millionth   (10,000,000th)   Niven number
  •   (optional)   show all gaps up to whatever limit is feasible/practical/realistic/reasonable/sensible/viable on your computer
  •   show all output here, on this page

Go

This reuses code from the [Harshad or Niven series] task though converted to use 'uint64' rather than 'int' in case anyone is running Go on a 32-bit platform. <lang go>package main

import "fmt"

type is func() uint64

func newSum() is {

   var ms is
   ms = func() uint64 {
       ms = newSum()
       return ms()
   }
   var msd, d uint64
   return func() uint64 {
       if d < 9 {
           d++
       } else {
           d = 0
           msd = ms()
       }
       return msd + d
   }

}

func newHarshard() is {

   i := uint64(0)
   sum := newSum()
   return func() uint64 {
       for i++; i%sum() != 0; i++ {
       }
       return i
   }

}

func commatize(n uint64) string {

   s := fmt.Sprintf("%d", n)
   le := len(s)
   for i := le - 3; i >= 1; i -= 3 {
       s = s[0:i] + "," + s[i:]
   }
   return s

}

func main() {

   fmt.Println("Gap    Index of gap   Starting Niven")
   fmt.Println("===   =============   ==============")
   h := newHarshard()
   pg := uint64(0) // previous highest gap
   pn := h()       // previous Niven number
   for i, n := uint64(1), h(); n <= 20e9; i, n = i+1, h() {
       g := n - pn
       if g > pg {
           fmt.Printf("%3d   %13s   %14s\n", g, commatize(i), commatize(pn))
           pg = g
       }
       pn = n
   }

J tokens are either isolated ASCII symbols or end with a suffix either `.' or ':' . Verbs return nouns. The sentence of nouns and verbs ~.>./\2-~/\A evaluate from right to left. <lang J>( ~. ( >./\ ( 2 -~/\ A ) ) )</lang>

Given that <lang J>A</lang> names a list of Niven numbers `2 -~/\ A' finds the difference between successive pairs of A. In 2 -~/\ A the verb -~/\ surrounded by nouns is dyadic, which is to do -~/ on the length 2 infixes of A. Consuming the 2 and A, infix adverb \ passes length 2 vectors of items of A to the verb -~/ . Adverb / inserts the verb - between the items of the vector, which it then evaluates since there's no more...except that we want a[i+1]-a[i], which explains the passive ~ adverb to swap the arguments.

`>./\' applied to the successive difference: In this instance there isn't a given infix length, hence the \ here is monadic "prefixes" adverb. Dyadic `x >. y' is the maximum of x and y. Inserting >. to the prefixes results in a vector of maximum value to that point.

Finally, the monadic ~. evaluates the nub (set) of the items presented to it.
