Let be a
-digit number, and let
and
be the quotient and the remainder, respectively, when
is divided by
. For how many values of
is
divisible by
?
Solution
When a -digit number is divided by
, the first
digits become the quotient,
, and the last
digits become the remainder,
.
Therefore, can be any integer from
to
inclusive, and
can be any integer from
to
inclusive.
For each of the possible values of
, there are at least
possible values of
such that
.
Since there is "extra" possible value of
that is congruent to
, each of the
values of
that are congruent to
have
more possible value of
such that
.
Therefore, the number of possible values of such that
is
.
