From a set containing $6$ positive and consecutive integers they are extracted, randomly and with replacement, three numbers $a, b, c$. Determine the probability that even $a^b + c$ generates as a result .
A number is called lucky if computing the sum of the squares of its digits and repeating this operation sufficiently many times leads to number $1$. For example, $1900$ is lucky, as $1900 \to 82 \to 68 \to 100 \to 1$. Find infinitely many pairs of consecutive numbers each of which is lucky.
We call a number greater than $25$, [i] semi-prime[/i] if it is the sum of some two different prime numbers. What is the greatest number of consecutive natural numbers that can be [i]semi-prime[/i]?
Find all integers $n$ such that $n^4-8n+15$ is product of two consecutive integers
We say that a positive integer is [i]irregular [/i] if said number is not a multiple of none of its digits. For example, $203$ is irregular because $ 203$ is not a multiple of $2$, it is not multiple of $0$ and is not a multiple of $3$. Consider a set consisting of $n$ consecutive positive integers. If all the numbers in that set are irregular, determine the largest possible value of $n$.
It is said that a positive integer $n > 1$ has the property ($p$) if in its prime factorization $n = p_1^{a_1} \cdot ... \cdot p_j^{a_j}$ at least one of the prime factors $p_1, ... , p_j$ has the exponent equal to $2$. a) Find the largest number $k$ for which there exist $k$ consecutive positive integers that do not have the property ($p$). b) Prove that there is an infinite number of positive integers $n$ such that $n, n + 1$ and $n + 2$ have the property ($p$).
Determine all positive integers$ n$ that can be written as the product of two consecutive integers and as well as the product of four consecutive integers numbers. In the formula: $n = a (a + 1) = b (b + 1) (b + 2) (b + 3)$.
Students in the class of Peter practice the addition and multiplication of integer numbers.The teacher writes the numbers from $1$ to $9$ on nine cards, one for each number, and places them in an ballot box. Pedro draws three cards, and must calculate the sum and the product of the three corresponding numbers. Ana and Julián do the same, emptying the ballot box. Pedro informs the teacher that he has picked three consecutive numbers whose product is $5$ times the sum. Ana informs that she has no prime number, but two consecutive and that the product of these three numbers is $4$ times the sum of them. What numbers did Julian remove?
Find all $n$ for which there are $n$ consecutive integers whose sum of squares is a prime.
Prove that $1$ plus the product of any four consecutive integers is a perfect square.
Prove that the product of $8$ consecutive natural numbers can never be a fourth power of natural number.
Let $n$ be a natural number, $n \ge 5$, and $a_1, a_2, . . . , a_n$ real numbers such that all possible sums $a_i + a_j$, where $1 \le i < j \le n$, form $\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$ consecutive members of an arithmetic progression when taken in some order. Prove that $a_1 = a_2 = . . . = a_n$.
There are $\tfrac{n(n+1)}{2}$ distinct sums of two distinct numbers, if there are $n$ numbers. For which $n \ (n \geq 3)$ do there exist $n$ distinct integers, such that those sums are $\tfrac{n(n-1)}{2}$ consecutive numbers?
Prove that all the positive integer numbers , except for the powers of $2$, can be written as the sum of (at least two) consecutive natural numbers .
Consider the prime numbers $n_1< n_2 <...< n_{31}$. Prove that if $30$ divides $n_1^4 + n_2^4+...+n_{31}^4$, then among these numbers one can find three consecutive primes.
Let $N = 2 \: \: \underbrace {99… 9} _{n \,\,\text {times}} \: \: 82 \: \: \underbrace {00… 0} _{n \,\, \text {times} } \: \: 29$. Prove that $N$ can be written as the sum of the squares of $3$ consecutive natural numbers.
Prove that there exists an infinite sequence of perfect squares with the following properties: (i) The arithmetic mean of any two consecutive terms is a perfect square, (ii) Every two consecutive terms are coprime, (iii) The sequence is strictly increasing.
We say that a natural number of at least two digits $E$ is [i]special [/i] if each time two adjacent digits of $E$ are added, a divisor of $E$ is obtained. For example, $2124$ is special, since the numbers $2 + 1$, $1 + 2$ and $2 + 4$ are all divisors of $2124$. Find the largest value of $n$ for which there exist $n$ consecutive natural numbers such that they are all special.
The two pairs of consecutive natural numbers $(8, 9)$ and $(288, 289)$ have the following property: in each pair, each number contains each of its prime factors to a power not less than $2$. Prove that there are infinitely many such pairs. (A Andjans, Riga)
a) Prove that of $5$ consecutive positive integers one that is relatively prime with the other $4$ can always be selected. b) Prove that of $10$ consecutive positive integers one that is relatively prime with the other $9$ can always be selected.
The vertices of a $33$-gon are labelled with the integers from $1$ to $33$. Each edge is then labelled with the sum of the labels of its two vertices. Is it possible for the edge labels to consist of $33$ consecutive numbers?
Find $n$ such that each of the numbers $n,(n+1),...,(n+20)$ has the common divider greater than one with the number $30030 = 2\cdot 3\cdot 5\cdot 7\cdot 11\cdot 13$.
For an integer $n$ let $M (n) = \{n, n + 1, n + 2, n + 3, n + 4\}$. Furthermore, be $S (n)$ sum of squares and $P (n)$ the product of the squares of the elements of $M (n)$. For which integers $n$ is $S (n)$ a divisor of $P (n)$ ?
Prove that there is a natural number $n > 1$ such that the product of some $n$ consecutive natural numbers is equal to the product of some $n + 100$ consecutive natural numbers.
