Problem

For an arbitrary real number $x$, $\lfloor x\rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer not exceeding $x$. Prove that there is exactly one integer $m$ which satisfy $m-\left\lfloor \frac{m}{2005}\right\rfloor=2005$.

Solution

First we will show that $m = 2006$ is a solution. Then we will show that there are no other integers that are a solution.


To find the solution, note that the absolute value of $\left\lfloor \frac{m}{2005}\right\rfloor$ is usually smaller than $m$, so $m$ should be close to $2005$. Plugging in $m = 2005$ results in $m-\left\lfloor \frac{m}{2005}\right\rfloor = 2004$. Trying out $m = 2006$ results in $m-\left\lfloor \frac{m}{2005}\right\rfloor = 2005$, so that value is a solution.


To show that there are no other integers that are a solution, we will consider two cases: one where $m$ is less than $2006$ and one where $m$ is greater than $2006$.


Case 1: $m < 2006$

The highest integer $m$ that meets the conditions is $2005$, and in that condition, $m-\left\lfloor \frac{m}{2005}\right\rfloor=2004$.


Assume that $m - \left \lfloor \frac{m}{2005} \right \rfloor < 2005$. Let $m = 2005a + b$, where $a,b$ are integers and $b$ is less than $2005$.


If $b = 0$, then $m-\left\lfloor \frac{m}{2005}\right\rfloor = 2005a - \left\lfloor \frac{2005a}{2005}\right\rfloor = 2004a$. Additionally, \begin{align*} m-1-\left\lfloor \frac{m-1}{2005}\right\rfloor &= 2005a - 1 - \left\lfloor \frac{2005a - 1}{2005}\right\rfloor \\ &= 2005a - 1 - \left\lfloor \frac{2005(a-1) + 2004}{2005} \right\rfloor \\ &= 2005a - 1 - a + 1 \\ &= 2004a. \end{align*} If $b > 0$, then $m-\left\lfloor \frac{m}{2005}\right\rfloor = 2005a + b - \left\lfloor \frac{2005a+b}{2005}\right\rfloor = 2004a + b$. Additionally, \begin{align*} m-1-\left\lfloor \frac{m-1}{2005}\right\rfloor &= 2005a + b - 1 - \left\lfloor \frac{2005a + b - 1}{2005}\right\rfloor \\ &= 2005a + b - 1 - a \\ &= 2004a + b - 1. \end{align*} For both cases, $m-1-\left\lfloor \frac{m-1}{2005}\right\rfloor \le m-\left\lfloor \frac{m}{2005}\right\rfloor$, so by induction, there are no integers less than $2006$ that satisfy the equation.

Case 2: $m > 2006$

The lowest integer $m$ that meets the conditions is $2007$, and in that condition, $m-\left\lfloor \frac{m}{2005}\right\rfloor=2006$.


Assume that $m - \left \lfloor \frac{m}{2005} \right \rfloor > 2005$. Once again, let $m = 2005a + b$, where $a,b$ are integers and $b$ is less than $2005$.


If $b = 2004$, then $m-\left\lfloor \frac{m}{2005}\right\rfloor = 2005a + 2004 - \left\lfloor \frac{2005a+2004}{2005}\right\rfloor = 2004a + 2004$. Additionally, \begin{align*} m+1-\left\lfloor \frac{m+1}{2005}\right\rfloor &= 2005a + 2005 - \left\lfloor \frac{2005a +2005}{2005}\right\rfloor \\ &= 2005a + 2005 - a - 1 \\ &= 2004a + 2004 \end{align*} If $b < 2004$, then $m-\left\lfloor \frac{m}{2005}\right\rfloor = 2005a + b - \left\lfloor \frac{2005a+b}{2005}\right\rfloor = 2004a + b$. Additionally, \begin{align*} m+1-\left\lfloor \frac{m+1}{2005}\right\rfloor &= 2005a + b + 1 - \left\lfloor \frac{2005a + b + 1}{2005}\right\rfloor \\ &= 2005a + b + 1 - a \\ &= 2004a + b + 1 \end{align*} For both cases, $m+1-\left\lfloor \frac{m+1}{2005}\right\rfloor \ge m-\left\lfloor \frac{m}{2005}\right\rfloor$, so by induction, there are no integers greater than $2006$ that satisfy the equation.


Therefore, there is only one integer that satisfies the original equation.

Solution 2

Using Quotient-Remainder Theorem, let $m = 2005q+r$, where $q$, $r$, are integers and $0\le r< 2005$

Since $m - \lfloor \frac{m}{2005}\rfloor =2005$, $2005q+r- \lfloor \frac{2005q+r}{2005}\rfloor = 2005$.

This simplifies down to

\begin{align*} 2005q+r-q&=2005\\ 2004q+r&=2005\\ r&=2005-2004q \end{align*}

If $q\le 0$, then $r\ge 2005$, which violates the restriction that $0\le r<2005$. If $q\ge 2$, then $r< 0$, which again violates the restriction that $0\le r<2005$.

Thus, the only possible value for q is 1, and $r=2005-2004(1)=1$.

Solving for $m$ gives $m = 2005q+r = 2006$ as our only answer
