[hide]Problem
How many three-digit positive integers are there whose nonzero digits and satisfy (The bar indicates repetition, thus is the infinite repeating decimal )
Solution
We rewrite the given equation, then rearrange: Now, this problem is equivalent to counting the ordered triples that satisfies the equation.
Clearly, the ordered triples are solutions to this equation.
The expression has the same value when:
- increases by as decreases by
- decreases by as increases by
We find more solutions from the solutions above: Note that all solutions are symmetric about
Together, we have ordered triples
