Find the number of positive integers with three not necessarily distinct digits, , with
and
such that both
and
are multiples of
.
Solutions
Solution 1
A positive integer is divisible by if and only if its last two digits are divisible by
For any value of
, there are two possible values for
and
, since we find that if
is even,
and
must be either
or
, and if
is odd,
and
must be either
or
. There are thus
ways to choose
and
for each
and
ways to choose
since
can be any digit. The final answer is then
.
Solution 2
A number is divisible by four if its last two digits are divisible by 4. Thus, we require that and
are both divisible by
. If
is odd, then
and
must both be
meaning that
and
are
or
. If
is even, then
and
must be
meaning that
and
are
or
. For each choice of
there are
choices for
and
for
for a total of
numbers.
