Prove that if \((m, 10) = 1\), then there is a repeated unit \(E_n\) that is divisible by \(m\). Will there be infinitely many repeated units?
Prove that if \((p, q) = 1\) and \(p/q\) is a rational root of the polynomial \(P (x) = a_nx^n + \dots + a_1x + a_0\) with integer coefficients, then
a) \(a_0\) is divisible by \(p\);
b) \(a_n\) is divisible by \(q\).
Prove that the equation \(\frac {x}{y} + \frac {y}{z} + \frac {z}{x} = 1\) is unsolvable using positive integers.
Prove that the 13th day of the month is more likely to occur on a Friday than on other days of the week. It is assumed that we live in the Gregorian style calendar.
We are given 111 different natural numbers that do not exceed 500. Could it be that for each of these numbers, its last digit coincides with the last digit of the sum of all of the remaining numbers?
16 teams took part in a handball tournament where a victory was worth 2 points, a draw – 1 point and a defeat – 0 points. All teams scored a different number of points, and the team that ranked seventh, scored 21 points. Prove that the winning team drew at least once.
To a certain number, we add the sum of its digits and the answer we get is 2014. Give an example of such a number.
In a row there are 20 different natural numbers. The product of every two of them standing next to one another is the square of a natural number. The first number is 42. Prove that at least one of the numbers is greater than 16,000.
Peter plays a computer game “A bunch of stones.” First in his pile of stones he has 16 stones. Players take turns taking from the pile either 1, 2, 3 or 4 stones. The one who takes the last stone wins. Peter plays this for the first time and therefore each time he takes a random number of stones, whilst not violating the rules of the game. The computer plays according to the following algorithm: on each turn, it takes the number of stones that leaves it to be in the most favorable position. The game always begins with Peter. How likely is it that Peter will win?
There are two symmetrical cubes. Is it possible to write some numbers on their faces so that the sum of the points when throwing these cubes on the upwards facing face on landing takes the values 1, 2, ..., 36 with equal probabilities?
