Let $m$ boxes be given, with some balls in each box. Let $n < m$ be a given integer. The following operation is performed: choose $n$ of the boxes and put $1$ ball in each of them. Prove: [i](a) [/i]If $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime, then it is possible, by performing the operation a finite number of times, to arrive at the situation that all the boxes contain an equal number of balls. [i](b)[/i] If $m$ and $n$ are not relatively prime, there exist initial distributions of balls in the boxes such that an equal distribution is not possible to achieve.

How many primes less than $100$ have $7$ as the ones digit? (Assume the usual base ten representation) $\text{(A)} \ 4 \qquad \text{(B)} \ 5 \qquad \text{(C)} \ 6 \qquad \text{(D)} \ 7 \qquad \text{(E)} \ 8$

Let $P_1(x, y)$ and $P_2(x, y)$ be two relatively prime polynomials with complex coefficients. Let $Q(x, y)$ and $R(x, y)$ be polynomials with complex coefficients and each of degree not exceeding $d$. Prove that there exist two integers $A_1, A_2$ not simultaneously zero with $|A_i| \leq d + 1 \ (i = 1, 2)$ and such that the polynomial $A_1P_1(x, y) + A_2P_2(x, y)$ is coprime to $Q(x, y)$ and $R(x, y).$

Find the number of positive integers $n$ satisfying $\phi(n) | n$ such that \[\sum_{m=1}^{\infty} \left( \left[ \frac nm \right] - \left[\frac{n-1}{m} \right] \right) = 1992\] What is the largest number among them? As usual, $\phi(n)$ is the number of positive integers less than or equal to $n$ and relatively prime to $n.$

Let $S$ be the set of points whose coordinates $x,$ $y,$ and $z$ are integers that satisfy $0\le x\le2,$ $0\le y\le3,$ and $0\le z\le4.$ Two distinct points are randomly chosen from $S.$ The probability that the midpoint of the segment they determine also belongs to $S$ is $m/n,$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n.$

The integers $a$, $b$, $c$ and $d$ are such that $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime, $d\leq 2022$ and $a+b+c+d = ac + bd = 0$. Determine the largest possible value of $d$,

You know that the Jones family has five children, and the Smith family has three children. Of the eight children you know that there are five girls and three boys. Let $\dfrac{m}{n}$ be the probability that at least one of the families has only girls for children. Given that $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, find $m+ n$.

Given two relatively prime numbers $p>0$ and $q>0$. An integer $n$ is called "good" if we can represent it as $n = px + qy$ with nonnegative integers $x$ and $y$, and "bad" in the opposite case. a) Prove that there exist integer $c$ such that in a pair $\{n, c-n\}$ always one is "good" and one is "bad". b) How many there exist "bad" numbers?

Heather and Kyle need to mow a lawn and paint a room. If Heather does both jobs by herself, it will take her a total of nine hours. If Heather mows the lawn and, after she finishes, Kyle paints the room, it will take them a total of eight hours. If Kyle mows the lawn and, after he finishes, Heather paints the room, it will take them a total of seven hours. If Kyle does both jobs by himself, it will take him a total of six hours. It takes Kyle twice as long to paint the room as it does for him to mow the lawn. The number of hours it would take the two of them to complete the two tasks if they worked together to mow the lawn and then worked together to paint the room is a fraction $\tfrac{m}{n}$where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

$\tfrac11+\tfrac13+\tfrac15=\tfrac12+\tfrac14+\tfrac16+\tfrac m n$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

[i]The Game.[/i] Eric and Greg are watching their new favorite TV show, [i]The Price is Right[/i]. Bob Barker recently raised the intellectual level of his program, and he begins the latest installment with bidding on following question: How many Carmichael numbers are there less than $100,000$? Each team is to list one nonnegative integer not greater than $100,000$. Let $X$ denote the answer to Bob’s question. The teams listing $N$, a maximal bid (of those submitted) not greater than $X$, will receive $N$ points, and all other teams will neither receive nor lose points. (A Carmichael number is an odd composite integer $n$ such that $n$ divides $a^{n-1}-1$ for all integers $a$ relatively prime to $n$ with $1<a<n$.)

1) Cells of $8 \times 8$ table contain pairwise distinct positive integers. Each integer is prime or a product of two primes. It is known that for any integer $a$ from the table there exists integer written in the same row or in the same column such that it is not relatively prime with $a$. Find maximum possible number of prime integers in the table. 2) Cells of $2n \times 2n$ table, $n \ge 2,$ contain pairwise distinct positive integers. Each integer is prime or a product of two primes. It is known that for any integer $a$ from the table there exist integers written in the same row and in the same column such that they are not relatively prime with $a$. Find maximum possible number of prime integers in the table.

Let $\displaystyle{p,q}$ be relatively prime positive integers. Prove that \[\displaystyle{ \sum_{k=0}^{pq-1} (-1)^{\left\lfloor \frac{k}{p}\right\rfloor + \left\lfloor \frac{k}{q}\right\rfloor} = \begin{cases} 0 & \textnormal{ if } pq \textnormal{ is even}\\ 1 & \textnormal{if } pq \textnormal{ odd}\end{cases}}\] [i]Proposed by Alexander Bolbot, State University, Novosibirsk.[/i]

Find all pairs of $ (a, n) $ natural numbers such that $ \varphi (a ^ n + n) = 2 ^ n. $ ($ \varphi (n) $ is the Euler function, that is, the number of integers from $1$ up to $ n $, relative prime to $ n $)
