This was a poorly constrained problem... 197x 1583619814549797419363188797991331 is one, though there are 63 solutions. 3. 65/36. 4. All composite numbers inclusing 1 but excluding 4. 5. 6. Use Halder's inequality. Can you explain how you arrived at these answers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Factor the cubic into which equals divide by 301.. and you get 2. Utilize geometric sequences and a summation to infinity. The series can be grouped as.. 5/13 + 5/13^2+ 5/13^3 + .... + 50/13^2 + 50/13^3 + ..... +500/13^3 +......... Each line is a geometric sequence, and I'll abbreviate them with (a, r), where a is the first term and r is the common ratio. Using the sum formula we get = This last part is also a geometric series (1, 10/13) so we get . 3. If you divide both by n, then the question becomes when is (n-1)! divisible by n. If n is any prime, this cannot happen, as none of the factorial factors can contain it because it's prime and those are all smaller. So what if n isn't prime? It must decompose into factors all of which are smaller and so contained somewhere in the factors of the factorial. What if such a factor occurs twice? It can be further factored using numbers we haven't yet used, so n will divide the factorial. This might sound a little confusing, so.. Suppose n = 147 = 3 x 72. 146! = 3 x 7 x 14 x ...., so 147 divides it. So all composite numbers have the aforementioned property. As for the others, I'm a little fatigued. I'll post the other answers later tommorow. Edited January 19, 2019 by IntegrationNation 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
