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 .
