For which digits $a$ do exist integers $n \geq 4$ such that each digit of $\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$ equals $a \ ?$
Determine the smallest natural number written in the decimal system with the product of the digits equal to $10! = 1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3\cdot ... \cdot9\cdot10$.
Initially, a positive integer $N$ is written on a blackboard. We repeatedly replace the number according to the following rules: 1) replace the number by a positive multiple of itself 2) replace the number by a number with the same digits in a different order. (The new number is allowed to have leading digits, which are then deleted.) [i]A possible sequence of moves is given by $5 \to 20 \to 140 \to 041=41$.[/i] Determine for which values of $N$ it is possible to obtain $1$ after a finite number of such moves.
The set $X$ of $N$ four-digit numbers formed from the digits $1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8$ satisfies the following condition: [i]for any two different digits from $1,2,3,4,,6,7,8$ there exists a number in $X$ which contains both of them. [/i]\\ Determine the smallest possible value of $N$.
The teacher had written on the board a positive integer consisting of a number of $4$s followed by the same number of $8$s followed . During the break, Juku stepped up to the board and added to the number one more $4$ at the start and a $9$ at the end. Prove that the resulting number is an a square. of an integer.
All the $5$-digit numbers from $11111$ to $99999$ are written on the cards. Those cards lies in a line in an arbitrary order. Prove that the resulting $444445$-digit number is not a power of two.
Let $ m$ and $ n$ be positive integers such that $ 1 \le m < n$. In their decimal representations, the last three digits of $ 1978^m$ are equal, respectively, to the last three digits of $ 1978^n$. Find $ m$ and $ n$ such that $ m \plus{} n$ has its least value.
Let $S=\underbrace{111\dots 1}_{19}\underbrace{999\dots 9}_{19}$. Show that the $2S$-digit number \[\underbrace{111\dots 1}_{S}\underbrace{999\dots 9}_{S}\] is a multiple of $19$.
Find all integers $k > 1$ such that for some distinct positive integers $a, b$, the number $k^a + 1$ can be obtained from $k^b + 1$ by reversing the order of its (decimal) digits.
Let $6$ pairwise different digits are given and all of them are different from $0$. Prove that there exist $2$ six-digit integers, such that their difference is equal to $9$ and each of them contains all given $6$ digits.
Consider a sequence of non-negative integers g$_1,g_2,g_3,...$ each consisting of three digits (numbers smaller than $100$ are also written with three digits; the number $27$, for example, is written as $027$). Each number consists of the preceding by taking the product of the three digits that make up the preceding. The resulting sequence is of course dependent on the choice of $g_1$ (e.g. $g_1 = 359$ leads to $g_2= 135$, $g_3= 015$, $g_4 = 000$).Prove that independent of the choice of $g_1$: (a) $g_{n+1}\le g_n$ (b) $g_{10}= 000$.
For the positive integer $k$ we denote by the $a_n$ , the $k$ from the left digit in the decimal notation of the number $2^n$ ($a_n = 0$ if in the notation of the number $2^n$ less than the digits). Consider the infinite decimal fraction $a = \overline{0, a_1a_2a_3...}$. Prove that the number $a$ is irrational.
The teacher secretly thought of a three-digit $S$ number. Students $A, B, C$ and $D$ tried to guess, saying, respectively, $541$, $837$, $291$ and $846$. The teacher told them, “Each of you got it right exactly one digit of $S$ and in the correct position ”. What is the number $S$?
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.
Find all prime numbers with $n \ge 3$ digits, having the property: for every $k \in \{1, 2, . . . , n -2\}$, deleting any $k$ of its digits leaves a prime number.
Find all positive integers $k$, for which the product of some consecutive $k$ positive integers ends with $k$. [i]Proposed by Oleksiy Masalitin[/i]
Since this is the $6$th Greek Math Olympiad and the year is $1989$, can you find the last two digits of $6^{1989}$?
Determine all positive integers $n$ such that the decimal representation of the number $6^n + 1$ has all its digits the same.
An integer has $2018$ digits and is divisible by $7$. The first digit is $d$, while all the other digits are $2$. What is the value of $d$?
Call a rational number [i]short[/i] if it has finitely many digits in its decimal expansion. For a positive integer $m$, we say that a positive integer $t$ is $m-$[i]tastic[/i] if there exists a number $c\in \{1,2,3,\ldots ,2017\}$ such that $\dfrac{10^t-1}{c\cdot m}$ is short, and such that $\dfrac{10^k-1}{c\cdot m}$ is not short for any $1\le k<t$. Let $S(m)$ be the set of $m-$tastic numbers. Consider $S(m)$ for $m=1,2,\ldots{}.$ What is the maximum number of elements in $S(m)$?
A $2015$- digit natural number $A$ has the property that any $5$ of it's consecutive digits form a number divisible by $32$. Prove that $A$ is divisible by $2^{2015}$
Find all the natural $n$ and $k$ such that $n^n$ has $k$ digits and $k^k$ has $n$ digits.
Show that for any $n \not \equiv 0 \pmod{10}$ there exists a multiple of $n$ not containing the digit $0$ in its decimal expansion.
Let $c_n$ be the first digit of $2^n$ (in decimal representation). Prove that the number of different $13$-tuples $< c_k$,$...$, $c_{k+12}>$ is equal to $57$. (AY Belov,)
