Since $x^2 - (e + \pi)x + e \pi = (x - \pi)(x - e)$ has transcendental roots, we know that the coefficients are not both rational, and not even algebraic (see comment by Jos$\' e$).

My question is, can we determine, by either adding or multiplying digit-wise $(\mbox{mod }10)$ the digits of $\pi$ and $e$, whether the resulting numbers are transcendental?

Since it might be very difficult to determine whether two individual numbers are transcendental, here is a more general question:

If we add or multiply the digits of $\pi$ or $e$ digit-wise $(\mbox{mod } n)$, where $n$ is a digit from 2-10, which of the resulting numbers are transcendental?
