The combination to open a safe is a five-digit number. different, randomly selected from $2$ to $9$. To open the box strong, you also need a key that is labeled with the number $410639104$, which is the sum of all combinations that do not open the box. What is the combination that opens the safe?
Let $a$ and $n$ be positive integers and $s = a + a^2 + \cdots + a^n$. Prove that the last digit of $s$ is $1$ if and only if the last digits of $a$ and $n$ are both equal to $1$.
Let $n$ be a natural number. Prove that there is a multiple of $n$ that can be written only with the digits $0$ and $1$.
Let us denote with $S(n)$ the sum of all the digits of $n$. a) Is there such an $n$ that $n+S(n)=1980$? b) Prove that at least one of two arbitrary successive natural numbers is representable as $n + S(n)$ for some third number $n$.
We call a positive integer [i]alternating[/i] if every two consecutive digits in its decimal representation are of different parity. Find all positive integers $n$ such that $n$ has a multiple which is alternating.
Let $p > 10^9$ be a prime number such that $4p + 1$ is also prime. Prove that the decimal expansion of $\frac{1}{4p+1}$ contains all the digits $0,1, \ldots, 9$.
Ann wrote down all the perfect squares from one to one million (all in a single line). However, at night, an evil elf erased one of the numbers. So the next day, Ann saw an empty space between the numbers $760384$ and $763876$. What is the sum of the digits of the erased number?
Is there an eight-digit number without zero digits, which when divided by the first digit gives the remainder $1$, when divided by the second digit will give the remainder $2$, ..., when divided by the eighth digit will give the remainder $8$?
Given a positive integer $N$, define $u(N)$ as the number obtained by making the ones digit the left-most digit of $N$, that is, taking the last, right-most digit (the ones digit) and moving it leftwards through the digits of $N$ until it becomes the first (left-most) digit; for example, $u(2023) = 3202$. [b](1)[/b] Find a $6$-digit positive integer $N$ such that \[\frac{u(N)}{N} = \frac{23}{35}.\] [b](2)[/b] Prove that there is no positive integer $N$ with less than $6$ digits such that \[\frac{u(N)}{N} = \frac{23}{35}.\]
For which natural $n$ there exists a natural number multiple of $n$, whose decimal notation consists only of the digits $8$ and $9$ (possibly only from numbers $8$ or only from numbers $9$)?
Max divided a natural number $p$ by a natural number $q \leq 100$. In the decimal representation of the quotient he calculated, the sequence of digits $1982$ occurs somewhere after the decimal point. Show that Max made a computational mistake.
Put $S = 2^1 + 3^5 + 4^9 + 5^{13} + ... + 505^{2013} + 506^{2017}$. The last digit of $S$ is (A): $1$ (B): $3$ (C): $5$ (D): $7$ (E): None of the above.
For every natural number $n$, let $Q(n)$ denote the sum of the decimal digits of $n$. Prove that there are infinitely many positive integers $k$ with $Q(3^k) \ge Q(3^{k+1})$.
For any positive integer $k$, denote the sum of digits of $k$ in its decimal representation by $S(k)$. Find all polynomials $P(x)$ with integer coefficients such that for any positive integer $n \geq 2016$, the integer $P(n)$ is positive and $$S(P(n)) = P(S(n)).$$ [i]Proposed by Warut Suksompong, Thailand[/i]
Prove that every integer $ k$ greater than 1 has a multiple that is less than $ k^4$ and can be written in the decimal system with at most four different digits.
Let us call the [i]distance [/i] between the numbers $\overline{a_1a_2a_3a_4a_5}$ and $\overline{b_1b_2b_3b_4b_5}$ the maximum $i$ for which $a_i \ne b_i$. All five-digit numbers are written out one after another in some order. What is the minimum possible sum of distances between adjacent numbers?
Nine positive integers $a_1,a_2,...,a_9$ have their last $2$-digit part equal to $11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18$ and $19$ respectively. Find the last $2$-digit part of the sum of their squares.
Pedro writes all the numbers with four different digits that can be made with digits $a, b, c, d$, that meet the following conditions: $$ a\ne 0 \, , \, b=a+2 \, , \, c=b+2 \, , \, d=c+2$$ Find the sum of all the numbers Pedro wrote.
