For given M
h(n) is defined as the number of which is relatively prime with M, and 1 or more and n or less.
As B is h(M)/M, prove that there are at least M/3 or more N such that satisfying the below inequality
|h(N)-BN| is under 1+sqrt(B×2^((the number of prime factor of M)-3))

Determine all real numbers $\alpha$ such that, for every positive integer $n,$ the integer
$$\lfloor\alpha\rfloor +\lfloor 2\alpha\rfloor +\cdots +\lfloor n\alpha\rfloor$$is a multiple of $n.$ (Note that $\lfloor z\rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to $z.$ For example, $\lfloor -\pi\rfloor =-4$ and $\lfloor 2\rfloor= \lfloor 2.9\rfloor =2.$)

Consider an increasing sequence of integers \( a_n \).
For every positive integer \( n \), there exist indices \( 1 \leq i < j \leq n \) such that \( a_i + a_j \) is divisible by \( n \).
Given that \( a_1 \geq 1 \), find the minimum possible value of \( a_{100} \).

Consider the triangle $ABC$ with $\angle BCA > 90^{\circ}$. The circumcircle $\Gamma$ of $ABC$ has radius $R$. There is a point $P$ in the interior of the line segment $AB$ such that $PB = PC$ and the length of $PA$ is $R$. The perpendicular bisector of $PB$ intersects $\Gamma$ at the points $D$ and $E$.

Prove $P$ is the incentre of triangle $CDE$.

My construction is based on the Gergonne construction of the fourth circle tangent to three given circles:
Let $S$ be the similicenter of $r,s$ ; $T$ touch point of a tangent to $r$ through $S$ ;
the pole of the line through $S$ perpendicular to $\ell$ wrt $r $ is $R_1 $;
$d$, the radical axis of $r,s$, cuts $\ell $ at $R$ ;
$P$ a point of intersection of $RR_1$and $r$ ;
$TP$ cuts $d$ at $K$ ; let the bisector of
$KP$ cuts $\ell$ at $O$
the circle with center $O$ passing through $K$ is tangent to $r,s$ .
Best regards.

Very nice sir. In my sol I introduced $R, S$ the centers of $r, s$ and their radii be $r_1, s_1$.The point $O$ on $l$ with satisfy $OR-OS=r_1-s_1$ is the required center of circle. This is done by marking intersection of hyperbola (having foci $R, S$ and constant $r_1-s_1$) with line $l$.It is easy to find synthetic sol for this.
