Problem
What is the hundreds digit of
Solution 1
Because we know that is a factor of
and
, the last three digits of both numbers is a
, this means that the difference of the hundreds digits is also
.
Solution 2
We can clearly see that , so
meaning that the last two digits are equal to
and the hundreds digit is
.
--abhinavg0627
Solution 3 (Brute Force)
Then, we see that the hundreds digit is .
