Reception pupil Peter knows only the number 1. Prove that he can write a number divisible by 1989.
Prove that for any number \(d\), which is not divisible by \(2\) or by \(5\), there is a number whose decimal notation contains only ones and which is divisible by \(d\).
Reception pupil Peter knows only the number 1. Prove that he can write a number divisible by 2001.
We are given 51 two-digit numbers – we will count one-digit numbers as two-digit numbers with a leading 0. Prove that it is possible to choose 6 of these so that no two of them have the same digit in the same column.
Prove that amongst any 11 different decimal fractions of infinite length, there will be two whose digits in the same column – 10ths, 100s, 1000s, etc – coincide (are the same) an infinite number of times.
Prove that in a three-digit number, that is divisible by 37, you can always rearrange the numbers so that the new number will also be divisible by 37.
Prove that for any positive integer \(n\), it is always possible to find a number, consisting of the digits \(1\) and \(2,\) that is divisible by \(2^n\). (For example, \(2\) is divisible by \(2\), \(12\) is divisible by \(4,\) \(112\) is divisible by \(8,\) \(2112\) is divisible by \(16\) and so on...).
An infinite sequence of digits is given. One may consider a finite set of consecutive digits and view it as a number in decimal expression, whose digits shall be read from left to right, as usual. Prove that, for any natural number \(n\) which is relatively prime with 10, you can choose a finite set of consecutive digits which gives you a multiple of \(n\).
Two people play a game with the following rules: one of them guesses a set of integers \((x_1, x_2, \dots , x_n)\) which are single-valued digits and can be either positive or negative. The second person is allowed to ask what is the sum \(a_1x_1 + \dots + a_nx_n\), where \((a_1, \dots ,a_n)\) is any set. What is the smallest number of questions for which the guesser recognizes the intended set?
7 different digits are given. Prove that for any natural number \(n\) there is a pair of these digits, the sum of which ends in the same digit as the number.
