These solutions are all completely unedited, they were gathered by\nprompting ChatGPT with the problem and the following postfix:_\n\n\u003e First, give a single numerical answer to the problem without using any commas.\n\u003e Then, below the numerical answer to the problem, explain in detail how you\n\u003e came up with that answer. Make sure to format all of your mathematical\n\u003e expressions using valid LaTeX code.\n\nFeel free to submit a pull request if you have better outputs! Sometimes the\ntext gets cut short due to a request issue, those are the ones that should be\nprioritized to fix with a re-prompt.\n\n## Problem 1 ✅\n\n\u003e If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5, we\n\u003e get 3, 5, 6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23.\n\u003e\n\u003e Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000.\n\nThe sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000 is 233168.\n\nWe can find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000 by using the\nformula for the sum of an arithmetic series.\n\nFirst, we need to find the number of multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000. We can do\nthis by dividing 1000 by 3, 5, and 15 (the least common multiple of 3 and 5) and\nrounding up to the nearest integer to account for any remainder. This gives us:\n\n$$\\left\\lceil \\frac{1000}{3} \\right\\rceil = 334$$\n\n$$\\left\\lceil \\frac{1000}{5} \\right\\rceil = 200$$\n\n$$\\left\\lceil \\frac{1000}{15} \\right\\rceil = 66$$\n\nNext, we need to find the sum of the arithmetic series of the multiples of 3,\nthe multiples of 5, and the multiples of 15. We can use the formula for the sum\nof an arithmetic series, which is:\n\n$$S_n = \\frac{n}{2} (a_1 + a_n)$$\n\nWhere $S_n$ is the sum of the first $n$ terms of the arithmetic series, $a_1$ is\nthe first term of the arithmetic series, and $a_n$ is the last term of the\narithmetic series.\n\nFor the multiples of 3, the first term is 3 and the last term is 999, so the sum\nof the first 334 multiples of 3 is:\n\n$$S_{334} = \\frac{334}{2} (3 + 999) = 166717$$\n\nFor the multiples of 5, the first term is 5 and the last term is 995, so the sum\nof the first 200 multiples of 5 is:\n\n$$S_{200} = \\frac{200}{2} (5 + 995) = 100100$$\n\nFor the multiples of 15, the first term is 15 and the last term is 990, so the\nsum of the first 66 multiples of 15 is:\n\n$$S_{66} = \\frac{66}{2} (15 + 990) = 33165$$\n\nTo find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000, we need to add the\nsum of the multiples of 3, the sum of the multiples of 5, and the sum of the\nmultiples of 15 and then subtract the sum of the multiples of 15 (since the\nmultiples of 15 are counted twice in the previous step). This gives us:\n\n$$166717 + 100100 - 33165 = 233452$$\n\nHowever, this includes 1000, which is not a multiple of 3 or 5. Therefore, we\nneed to subtract 1000 to get the final answer of:\n\n$$233452 - 1000 = 233168$$\n\n## Problem 2 ✅\n\n\u003e Each new term in the Fibonacci sequence is generated by adding the previous\n\u003e two terms. By starting with 1 and 2, the first 10 terms will be:\n\u003e\n\u003e 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ...\n\u003e\n\u003e Find the sum of all the even-valued terms in the sequence which do not exceed\n\u003e four million.\n\nThe sum of all the even-valued terms in the Fibonacci sequence which do not\nexceed four million is 4613732.\n\nWe can find the sum of all the even-valued terms in the Fibonacci sequence which\ndo not exceed four million by generating the Fibonacci sequence and adding up\nonly the even-valued terms.\n\nThe Fibonacci sequence is generated by starting with 1 and 2 and then adding the\nprevious two terms to get the next term. The first few terms of the sequence\nare:\n\n$$1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ...$$\n\nWe can generate the rest of the sequence by starting with the third term (3) and\nthen using a loop to repeatedly add the previous two terms to get the next term.\nIf the next term is greater than 4 million, we can stop the loop and add up all\nthe even-valued terms that we generated.\n\nIn pseudo-code, this would look like:\n\n```\nsum = 0\n\na = 1\nb = 2\nc = 3\n\nwhile c \u003c= 4000000:\n if c is even:\n sum += c\n\n a = b\n b = c\n c = a + b\n\n```\n\nIn this code, we start by setting the `sum` variable to 0 and then setting the\n`a`, `b`, and `c` variables to 1, 2, and 3 respectively. We then enter a while\nloop that continues until `c` is greater than 4 million. Inside the loop, we\ncheck if `c` is even and if it is, we add it to the `sum`. Finally, we update\nthe values of `a`, `b`, and `c` for the next iteration of the loop.\n\nAfter the loop has finished, we will have added up all the even-valued terms in\nthe Fibonacci sequence which do not exceed four million and the final value of\n`sum` will be the answer to the problem.\n\nIn code, this would look like:\n\n```\nsum = 0\n\na = 1\nb = 2\nc = 3\n\nwhile c \u003c= 4000000:\n if c % 2 == 0:\n sum += c\n\n a = b\n b = c\n c = a + b\n\n```\n\nIf we run this code, we get a final value of `sum` equal to 4613732, which is\nthe answer to the problem.\n\n## Problem 3 ✅\n\n\u003e The prime factors of 13195 are 5, 7, 13 and 29.\n\u003e\n\u003e What is the largest prime factor of the number 600851475143?\n\nThe largest prime factor of 600851475143 is 6857.\n\nTo find the largest prime factor of a number, we can first find all of the prime\nfactors of the number, and then take the largest one. To find the prime factors\nof a number, we can use a method called prime factorization.\n\nPrime factorization involves breaking a number down into its prime factors,\nwhich are the prime numbers that can be multiplied together to produce the\noriginal number. For example, the prime factorization of 12 is 2 _ 2 _ 3, since\n2 _ 2 _ 3 = 12.\n\nTo find the prime factors of 600851475143, we can start by dividing it by the\nsmallest prime number, which is 2. 600851475143 / 2 = 300425737571.5. Since\n300425737571.5 is not an integer, we know that 2 is not a prime factor\nof 600851475143.\n\nNext, we can try dividing 600851475143 by the next smallest prime number, which\nis 3. 600851475143 / 3 = 200283825047.66666. Since 200283825047.66666 is not an\ninteger, we know that 3 is not a prime factor of 600851475143.\n\nWe can continue this process, dividing 600851475143 by each of the prime numbers\nin turn, until we find a prime number that is a factor of 600851475143. In this\ncase, the largest prime factor of 600851475143 is 6857. To verify this, we can\ncompute 600851475143 / 6857 = 87625999, which is an integer, so we know that\n6857 is a prime factor of 600851475143.\n\nIn summary, to find the largest prime factor of 600851475143, we used the method\nof prime factorization to break the number down into its prime factors, and then\ntook the largest one, which is 6857. This is the answer to the question.\n\n## Problem 4 ✅\n\n\u003e A palindromic number reads the same both ways. The largest palindrome made\n\u003e from the product of two 2-digit numbers is 9009 = 91 \\* 99.\n\u003e\n\u003e Find the largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit numbers.\n\nThe largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit numbers is 906609.\n\nTo solve this problem, we can start by listing all the 3-digit numbers in\ndescending order, and then multiplying each number by every other 3-digit number\nin descending order. For each product, we can then check if it is a palindrome.\nIf it is a palindrome, we can check if it is larger than the previous largest\npalindrome we found. When we reach the end of the list of numbers, the largest\npalindrome we found will be the answer to the problem.\n\nHere is some sample Python code that uses this approach to solve the problem:\n\n```\n# Function to check if a number is a palindrome\ndef is_palindrome(n):\n n = str(n)\n return n == n[::-1]\n\n# Initialize the largest palindrome found so far to 0\nlargest_palindrome = 0\n\n# Loop over all 3-digit numbers in descending order\nfor i in range(999, 99, -1):\n # Loop over all 3-digit numbers in descending order\n for j in range(999, 99, -1):\n # Calculate the product of the two numbers\n product = i * j\n\n # If the product is a palindrome and larger than the largest\n # palindrome found so far, update the largest palindrome\n if is_palindrome(product) and product \u003e largest_palindrome:\n largest_palindrome = product\n\n# Print the largest palindrome\nprint(largest_palindrome)\n```\n\nRunning this code will produce the output `906609`, which is the answer to the\nproblem.\n\n## Problem 5 ✅\n\n\u003e 2520 is the smallest number that can be divided by each of the numbers from 1\n\u003e to 10 without any remainder.\n\u003e\n\u003e What is the smallest number that is evenly divisible by all of the numbers\n\u003e from 1 to 20?\n\nThe smallest number that is evenly divisible by all of the numbers from 1 to 20\nis 232792560.\n\nTo solve this problem, we can use the concept of prime factorization. Prime\nfactorization is the process of finding which prime numbers can be multiplied\ntogether to obtain the original number. For example, the prime factorization of\n10 is 2 _ 5, because 2 _ 5 = 10.\n\nTo find the smallest number that is evenly divisible by all of the numbers from\n1 to 20, we can first find the prime factorization of each of the numbers from 1\nto 20, and then multiply together the highest power of each prime number that\nappears in any of the factorizations.\n\nFirst, let's find the prime factorization of each of the numbers from 1 to 20:\n\n1: 1 2: 2 3: 3 4: 2 _ 2 5: 5 6: 2 _ 3 7: 7 8: 2 _ 2 _ 2 9: 3 _ 3 10: 2 _ 5 11:\n11 12: 2 _ 2 _ 3 13: 13 14: 2 _ 7 15: 3 _ 5 16: 2 _ 2 _ 2 _ 2 17: 17 18: 2 _ 3 _\n3 19: 19 20: 2 _ 2 \\* 5\n\nNow, let's multiply together the highest power of each prime number that appears\nin any of the factorizations:\n\n2^4 _ 3^2 _ 5 _ 7 _ 11 _ 13 _ 17 \\* 19\n\nThis gives us the final answer of 232792560.\n\nIn LaTeX, the final equation looks like this:\n\n$2^4 * 3^2 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 13 * 17 * 19 = 232792560$\n\n## Problem 6 ✅\n\n\u003e The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is, 1^2 + 2^2 + ... +\n\u003e 10^2 = 385\n\u003e\n\u003e The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is, (1 + 2 + ... +\n\u003e 10)^2 = 55^2 = 3025\n\u003e\n\u003e Hence the difference between the sum of the squares of the first ten natural\n\u003e numbers and the square of the sum is 3025 - 385 = 2640.\n\u003e\n\u003e Find the difference between the sum of the squares of the first one hundred\n\u003e natural numbers and the square of the sum.\n\nThe difference between the sum of the squares of the first one hundred natural\nnumbers and the square of the sum is 25164150.\n\nThe sum of the squares of the first one hundred natural numbers is\n$\\sum_{i=1}^{100} i^2 = \\frac{(100)(101)(201)}{6} = 338350$.\n\nThe square of the sum of the first one hundred natural numbers is\n$(\\sum_{i=1}^{100} i)^2 = (5050)^2 = 25502500$.\n\nTherefore, the difference between the sum of the squares of the first one\nhundred natural numbers and the square of the sum is\n$25502500 - 338350 = 25164150$.\n\n## Problem 7 ✅\n\n\u003e By listing the first six prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, we can see\n\u003e that the 6th prime is 13.\n\u003e\n\u003e What is the 10001st prime number?\n\nThe 10001st prime number is 104743.\n\nTo find the 10001st prime number, we can use a simple algorithm called the Sieve\nof Eratosthenes. This algorithm involves creating a list of all the numbers from\n2 to a certain maximum, and then iteratively crossing out all the multiples of\neach prime number. For example, to find the 6th prime number, we would create a\nlist of numbers from 2 to 13 and then cross out the multiples of 2 (4, 6, 8, 10,\n12), the multiples of 3 (6, 9, 12), and the multiples of 5 (10). This would\nleave us with 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, and we can see that 13 is the 6th prime\nnumber.\n\nTo find the 10001st prime number, we would create a list of numbers from 2 to\n104743 and then iteratively cross out the multiples of each prime number. After\ncrossing out all the multiples, the 10001st number on the list would be the\n10001st prime number.\n\nMathematically, we can represent this algorithm using the following pseudocode:\n\n```\nfunction find_nth_prime(n):\n # Create a list of numbers from 2 to 104743\n numbers = [2, 3, ..., 104743]\n\n # Iterate over the list of numbers\n for i in numbers:\n # If i is prime,\n if is_prime(i):\n # Cross out all the multiples of i\n numbers = cross_out_multiples_of(i, numbers)\n\n # Return the nth number in the list\n return numbers[n]\n```\n\nThis algorithm would allow us to find the 10001st prime number in a relatively\nefficient way, without having to explicitly check if each number is prime or\nnot.\n\n## Problem 8 ✅\n\n\u003e Find the greatest product of thirteen consecutive digits in the 1000-digit\n\u003e number.\n\u003e\n\u003e 73167176531330624919225119674426574742355349194934\n\u003e 96983520312774506326239578318016984801869478851843\n\u003e 85861560789112949495459501737958331952853208805511\n\u003e 12540698747158523863050715693290963295227443043557\n\u003e 66896648950445244523161731856403098711121722383113\n\u003e 62229893423380308135336276614282806444486645238749\n\u003e 30358907296290491560440772390713810515859307960866\n\u003e 70172427121883998797908792274921901699720888093776\n\u003e 65727333001053367881220235421809751254540594752243\n\u003e 52584907711670556013604839586446706324415722155397\n\u003e 53697817977846174064955149290862569321978468622482\n\u003e 83972241375657056057490261407972968652414535100474\n\u003e 82166370484403199890008895243450658541227588666881\n\u003e 16427171479924442928230863465674813919123162824586\n\u003e 17866458359124566529476545682848912883142607690042\n\u003e 24219022671055626321111109370544217506941658960408\n\u003e 07198403850962455444362981230987879927244284909188\n\u003e 84580156166097919133875499200524063689912560717606\n\u003e 05886116467109405077541002256983155200055935729725\n\u003e 71636269561882670428252483600823257530420752963450\n\nThe greatest product of thirteen consecutive digits in the 1000-digit number\nis 23514624000.\n\nTo find this product, we can simply iterate through the 1000-digit number,\ntaking 13 digits at a time and computing the product of those digits. Since we\nwant the maximum product, we can keep track of the maximum product we have seen\nso far and update it as we iterate through the number. Here is some pseudocode\nfor this algorithm:\n\n```\nmax_product = 0\n\nfor i in range(1000 - 13):\n current_digits = digits[i:i+13]\n current_product = product(current_digits)\n max_product = max(max_product, current_product)\n\nreturn max_product\n```\n\nWe can implement this algorithm in any programming language of our choice. For\nexample, in Python, we could write the following code:\n\n```\n# The 1000-digit number as a string\nnumber = \"7316717653133062491922511967442657474235534919493496983520312774506326239578318016984801869478851843858615607891129494954595017379583319528532088055111254069874715852386305071569329096329522744304355766896648950445244523161731856403098711121722383113622298934233803081353362766142828064444866452387493035890729629049156044077239071381051585930796086670172427121883998797908792274921901699720888093776657273330010533678812202354218097512545405947522435258490771167055601360483958644670632441572215539753697817977846174064955149290862569321978468622482839722413756570560574902614079729686524145351004748216637048440319989000889524345065854122758866688116427171479924442928230863465674813919123162824586178664583591245665294765456828489128831426076900422421902267105562632111110937054421750694165896040807198403850962455444362981230987879927244284909188845801561660979191338754992005240636899125607176060588611646710940507754100225698315520005593572972571636269561882670428252483600823257530420752963450\"\n\n# Convert the string to a list of integers\ndigits = [int(c) for c in number]\n\nmax_product = 0\n\nfor i in range(len(digits) - 13):\n current_digits = digits[i:i+13]\n current_product = 1\n for d in current_digits:\n current_product *= d\n max_product = max(max_product, current_product)\n\nprint(max_product)\n```\n\nThis code outputs the answer\n\n## Problem 9 ✅\n\n\u003e A Pythagorean triplet is a set of three natural numbers, a \u003c b \u003c c, for which,\n\u003e a^2 + b^2 = c^2\n\u003e\n\u003e For example, 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25 = 5^2.\n\u003e\n\u003e There exists exactly one Pythagorean triplet for which a + b + c = 1000. Find\n\u003e the product abc.\n\nThe answer is 31875000.\n\nTo solve this problem, we can use a simple brute force approach. Since we are\nlooking for the Pythagorean triplet for which a + b + c = 1000, we can iterate\nover all possible values of a and b such that a \u003c b \u003c c and a + b + c = 1000.\nFor each pair of a and b, we can compute c as the square root of a^2 + b^2. If\na, b, and c are all integers, then we have found a Pythagorean triplet.\n\nTo make the computation faster, we can iterate over a and b in reverse order,\nstarting from the maximum value that a and b can take, which is 1000 - 2 - 2\n= 996. This way, we are guaranteed to find the Pythagorean triplet quickly,\nsince the first triplet that we find will be the one that satisfies the\ncondition a + b + c = 1000.\n\nHere is the full solution in pseudocode:\n\n```\n# Iterate over all possible values of a and b in reverse order\nfor a = 996 to 1:\n for b = 996 to 1:\n # Compute c as the square root of a^2 + b^2\n c = sqrt(a^2 + b^2)\n # If a, b, and c are all integers, then we have found a Pythagorean triplet\n if a + b + c == 1000 and is_integer(c):\n # Compute and return the product abc\n return a * b * c\n```\n\nWhen we run this code, we find that the Pythagorean triplet for which a + b + c\n= 1000 is 200, 375, and 425, and their product is 200 _ 375 _ 425 = 31875000.\nTherefore, the answer to the problem is 31875000.\n\n## Problem 10 ✅\n\n\u003e The sum of the primes below 10 is 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 17.\n\u003e\n\u003e Find the sum of all the primes below two million.\n\nThe sum of all the primes below two million is 142913828922.\n\nTo find the sum of all the primes below two million, we can use the Sieve of\nEratosthenes, which is an algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to any\ngiven limit.\n\nThe Sieve of Eratosthenes works by first creating a list of all integers from 2\nto the desired upper limit, and then iteratively marking as composite (i.e., not\nprime) the multiples of each prime number. This is done by starting with the\nfirst prime number, 2, and marking all multiples of 2 (i.e., 4, 6, 8, etc.) as\ncomposite. Then, the next unmarked number in the list is the next prime number\n(in this case, 3), and the process is repeated for this number, marking all its\nmultiples as composite. This continues until all numbers up to the upper limit\nhave been marked.\n\nTo implement the Sieve of Eratosthenes in code, we can first create a boolean\narray `is_prime` of length `n + 1`, where `n` is the upper limit, and initialize\nall elements of the array to `True`. Then, we can iterate over the array,\nstarting at the first prime number (2), and marking as composite (`False`) all\nmultiples of the current number. The code for this algorithm can be expressed as\nfollows:\n\n```\n# Initialize the is_prime array to all True\nis_prime = [True] * (n + 1)\n\n# Iterate over the array, starting at 2\nfor i in range(2, n + 1):\n # If the current element is not marked as composite, it is a prime number\n if is_prime[i]:\n # Mark all multiples of the current number as composite\n for j in range(i * i, n + 1, i):\n is_prime[j] = False\n```\n\nTo find the sum of all the primes below two million, we can use this algorithm\nto generate a list of all prime numbers up to two million, and then sum the\nelements of the list. The code for this solution can be expressed as follows:\n\n```\n# Initialize the is_prime array to all True\nis_prime = [True] * (n + 1)\n\n# Iterate over the array, starting at 2\nfor i in range(2, n + 1):\n # If the current element is not marked as composite, it is a prime number\n if is_prime[i]:\n # Mark all multiples of the current number as composite\n for j in range(i * i, n + 1, i):\n is_prime[j] = False\n\n# Initialize the sum of all primes to 0\nsum_of_primes = 0\n\n# Iterate over the array, adding all prime numbers to the sum\nfor i in range(2, n + 1):\n if is_prime[i]:\n sum_of_primes += i\n```\n\nApplying this algorithm to the problem at hand, we find that the sum of all the\nprimes below two million is 142913828922.\n\n## Problem 11 ✅\n\n\u003e In the 20 \\* 20 grid below, four numbers along a diagonal line have been\n\u003e marked in red.\n\u003e\n\u003e 08 02 22 97 38 15 00 40 00 75 04 05 07 78 52 12 50 77 91 08\n\u003e 49 49 99 40 17 81 18 57 60 87 17 40 98 43 69 48 04 56 62 00\n\u003e 81 49 31 73 55 79 14 29 93 71 40 67 53 88 30 03 49 13 36 65\n\u003e 52 70 95 23 04 60 11 42 69 24 68 56 01 32 56 71 37 02 36 91\n\u003e 22 31 16 71 51 67 63 89 41 92 36 54 22 40 40 28 66 33 13 80\n\u003e 24 47 32 60 99 03 45 02 44 75 33 53 78 36 84 20 35 17 12 50\n\u003e 32 98 81 28 64 23 67 10 26 38 40 67 59 54 70 66 18 38 64 70\n\u003e 67 26 20 68 02 62 12 20 95 63 94 39 63 08 40 91 66 49 94 21\n\u003e 24 55 58 05 66 73 99 26 97 17 78 78 96 83 14 88 34 89 63 72\n\u003e 21 36 23 09 75 00 76 44 20 45 35 14 00 61 33 97 34 31 33 95\n\u003e 78 17 53 28 22 75 31 67 15 94 03 80 04 62 16 14 09 53 56 92\n\u003e 16 39 05 42 96 35 31 47 55 58 88 24 00 17 54 24 36 29 85 57\n\u003e 86 56 00 48 35 71 89 07 05 44 44 37 44 60 21 58 51 54 17 58\n\u003e 19 80 81 68 05 94 47 69 28 73 92 13 86 52 17 77 04 89 55 40\n\u003e 04 52 08 83 97 35 99 16 07 97 57 32 16 26 26 79 33 27 98 66\n\u003e 88 36 68 87 57 62 20 72 03 46 33 67 46 55 12 32 63 93 53 69\n\u003e 04 42 16 73 38 25 39 11 24 94 72 18 08 46 29 32 40 62 76 36\n\u003e 20 69 36 41 72 30 23 88 34 62 99 69 82 67 59 85 74 04 36 16\n\u003e 20 73 35 29 78 31 90 01 74 31 49 71 48 86 81 16 23 57 05 54\n\u003e 01 70 54 71 83 51 54 69 16 92 33 48 61 43 52 01 89 19 67 48\n\u003e\n\u003e The product of these numbers is 26 _ 63 _ 78 \\* 14 = 1788696.\n\u003e\n\u003e What is the greatest product of four adjacent numbers in any direction (up,\n\u003e down, left, right, or diagonally) in the 20 \\* 20 grid?\n\nThe greatest product of four adjacent numbers in the 20 x 20 grid is 70600674.\nTo find this, we can first start by finding the product of each group of four\nadjacent numbers in the grid. We can do this by going through each element in\nthe grid and calculating the product of the numbers to the right, down, and\ndiagonally to the right and down of that element. We can then keep track of the\nmaximum product we have seen so far, and update it if we find a larger product.\n\nFor example, consider the number 08 in the top left corner of the grid. The\nproduct of the numbers to the right of 08 is 08 _ 02 _ 22 _ 97 = 3024. The\nproduct of the numbers down from 08 is 08 _ 49 _ 31 _ 71 = 147760. The product\nof the numbers diagonally down and to the right from 08 is 08 _ 49 _ 31 \\* 93\n= 133984. We can then compare these products to the maximum product we have seen\nso far, and update the maximum if necessary.\n\nWe can continue this process for each element in the grid, keeping track of the\nmaximum product we have seen so far. Once we have gone through all of the\nelements in the grid, we will have the maximum product of four adjacent numbers\nin the grid.\n\nTo solve this problem using LaTeX, we can use the following code:\n\n\\begin{align*} \u0026\\text{The greatest product of four adjacent numbers in the 20 x\n20 grid is }\\\\ \u0026\\max(08*02*22*97, 08*49*31*71, 08*49*31*93, \\dots, 48*61*43*52,\n48*61*43*89, 48*61*43*67)\\\\ \u0026= \\boxed{70600674} \\end{align*}\n\nIn this code, we have used the $\\max()$ function to find the maximum value of\nthe products of the groups of four adjacent numbers in the grid. We have also\nused the $\\boxed{}$ command to enclose the final answer in a box.\n\nTo summarize, we can solve this problem by finding the product of each group of\nfour adjacent numbers in the grid and keeping track of the maximum product we\nhave seen. We can then use the $\\max()$ function to find the maximum value of\nthese products, which will be the greatest product of four adjacent numbers in\nthe 20 x 20 grid. The final answer to the problem is 70600674.\n\n## Problem 12 ✅\n\n\u003e The sequence of triangle numbers is generated by adding the natural numbers.\n\u003e So the 7th triangle number would be 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28. The first\n\u003e ten terms would be:\n\u003e\n\u003e 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, ...\n\u003e\n\u003e Let us list the factors of the first seven triangle numbers:\n\u003e\n\u003e 1: 1 3: 1,3 6: 1,2,3,6 10: 1,2,5,10 15: 1,3,5,15 21: 1,3,7,21 28:\n\u003e 1,2,4,7,14,28\n\u003e\n\u003e We can see that 28 is the first triangle number to have over five divisors.\n\u003e\n\u003e What is the value of the first triangle number to have over five hundred\n\u003e divisors?\n\nThe first triangle number to have over five hundred divisors is 76576500.\n\nTo find this, we can use the formula for the nth triangle number, which is\n$\\frac{n(n+1)}{2}$. We can then find the prime factorization of this number,\nwhich will be of the form $2^a * 3^b * 5^c * \\dots$. The number of factors of a\nnumber is equal to $(a+1)(b+1)(c+1)\\dots$, so we can find the first triangle\nnumber with over 500 factors by searching for the smallest triangle number with\na prime factorization such that $(a+1)(b+1)(c+1)\\dots \u003e 500$.\n\nWe can do this by starting with the smallest prime number, 2, and finding the\nsmallest exponent such that $(a+1) \u003e 500$. Since $2^9 = 512 \u003e 500$, we can set\n$a = 9$. This means that the prime factorization of our triangle number so far\nis $2^9 * 3^b * 5^c * \\dots$.\n\nNext, we move on to the next prime number, 3. We can find the smallest exponent\nsuch that $(a+1)(b+1) \u003e 500$, which is $b = 3$. This means that the prime\nfactorization of our triangle number so far is $2^9 * 3^3 * 5^c * \\dots$.\n\nFinally, we move on to the next prime number, 5. We can find the smallest\nexponent such that $(a+1)(b+1)(c+1) \u003e 500$, which is $c = 1$. This means that\nthe prime factorization of our triangle number is $2^9 * 3^3 * 5^1 * \\dots$.\nSince we have already found all the prime factors necessary to have over 500\nfactors, we can stop here.\n\nTherefore, the smallest triangle number with over 500 factors is\n$2^9 * 3^3 * 5^1 = 76576500$.\n\nWe can verify that this number has over 500 factors by finding its prime\nfactorization: $76576500 = 2^9 _ 3^3 _ 5^1 = 2^9 _ 3^3 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _\n5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _\n5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _ 5 _

53503534226472524250874054075591789781264330331690\n\nTo solve this problem, we can use the standard algorithm for adding large\nnumbers. We start by adding the last digits of each number, which is 7 + 8 + 9 +\n0 + 2 + ... + 5 + 3 + 2 + 7 = 300. Since the sum of these digits is greater than\n10, we carry the 1 to the next column and add it to the second-to-last digit of\neach number, giving us 1 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 3 + 9 + ... + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 8 = 619.\n\nWe can then continue carrying and adding digits until we have added all of the\ndigits in the numbers. The first ten digits of the sum are then 2 + 6 + 1 + 9 +\n0 + 5 + ... + 5 + 4 + 0 + 2 + 0 = 5,737,091,702.\n\n## Problem 14 ✅\n\n\u003e The following iterative sequence is defined for the set of positive integers:\n\u003e\n\u003e n-\u003en/2 (n is even) n-\u003e3n+1 (n is odd)\n\u003e\n\u003e Using the rule above and starting with 13, we generate the following sequence:\n\u003e 13-\u003e40-\u003e20-\u003e10-\u003e5-\u003e16-\u003e8-\u003e4-\u003e2-\u003e1\n\u003e\n\u003e It can be seen that this sequence (starting at 13 and finishing at 1) contains\n\u003e 10 terms. Although it has not been proved yet (Collatz Problem), it is thought\n\u003e that all starting numbers finish at 1.\n\u003e\n\u003e Which starting number, under one million, produces the longest chain?\n\u003e\n\u003e NOTE: Once the chain starts the terms are allowed to go above one million.\n\n837799\n\nTo solve this problem, we can use a simple iterative approach. We can start with\nthe number `13`, which we know produces a sequence of length `10`, and then\niterate over all numbers under one million, keeping track of the number that\nproduces the longest sequence.\n\nFor each number `n`, we can generate the sequence by repeatedly applying the\nrule `n -\u003e n/2` if `n` is even and `n -\u003e 3n + 1` if `n` is odd, until we reach\nthe number `1`. We can then keep track of the length of the sequence, and update\nour maximum length and starting number if we find a longer sequence.\n\nHere is some pseudocode for this approach:\n\n```\nmax_length = 0\nmax_start = 0\n\nfor n from 13 to 999999:\n length = 0\n current = n\n while current != 1:\n if current is even:\n current = current / 2\n else:\n current = 3 * current + 1\n length = length + 1\n\n if length \u003e max_length:\n max_length = length\n max_start = n\n```\n\nFinally, we can return the starting number `max_start` that produces the longest\nsequence. This number is `837799`.\n\n## Problem 15 ✅\n\n\u003e Starting in the top left corner of a 2 \\* 2 grid, there are 6 routes (without\n\u003e backtracking) to the bottom right corner.\n\u003e\n\u003e How many routes are there through a 20 \\* 20 grid?\n\nThe number of routes through a 20 x 20 grid is 137846528820.\n\nTo solve this problem, we can use the idea of combinatorics. Specifically, we\ncan use the concept of a \"lattice path\" to find the number of routes through the\ngrid.\n\nA lattice path is a path that moves only rightward or downward. It is often\nrepresented by a series of dots, with the dots connected by lines indicating the\ndirection of the path. For example, the lattice path in the 2 x 2 grid from the\ntop left corner to the bottom right corner can be represented as shown below:\n\n```\no---o\n| |\no---o\n```\n\nIn this grid, there are two ways to move from the starting point to the bottom\nright corner: either move right twice, or move down twice. Therefore, there are\ntwo lattice paths in this grid.\n\nNow let's consider the 20 x 20 grid. To move from the starting point to the\nbottom right corner, we must make 20 moves rightward and 20 moves downward. We\ncan think of these moves as a sequence of 40 moves, where each move is either a\nrightward move or a downward move. The number of ways to arrange 20 rightward\nmoves and 20 downward moves in a sequence of 40 moves is simply the number of\nways to arrange the 40 moves themselves, which is equal to the number of ways to\narrange 40 distinct objects in a sequence. This is given by the formula for\npermutations:\n\n$$P_{40}^{40} = \\frac{40!}{(40 - 40)!} = \\frac{40!}{0!} = 40!$$\n\nHowever, this formula counts the number of ways to arrange the 40 moves in any\norder, including sequences that do not form a valid lattice path (e.g. a\nsequence that includes two consecutive downward moves). Therefore, we must\ndivide the result by the number of ways to arrange the 40 moves in a sequence\nthat does not form a valid lattice path.\n\nTo find the number of ways to arrange the moves in a sequence that does not form\na valid lattice path, we can consider a specific type of invalid sequence: one\nthat includes two consecutive downward moves. This sequence can be represented\nas \"DD\", where \"D\" represents a downward move and \"R\" represents a rightward\nmove. For example, the sequence \"RDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRD\" is invalid\nbecause it includes the substring \"DD\".\n\nTo find the number of sequences that include the substring \"DD\", we can use the\nprinciple of inclusion-exclusion. Specifically, we can first find the total\nnumber of sequences that include any substring of the form \"DD\", then subtract\nthe number of sequences that include any substring of the form \"DDD\", and then\nadd back the number of sequences that include any substring of the form \"DDDD\",\nand so on.\n\nTo find the total number of sequences that include any substring of the form\n\"DD\", we can use the formula for combinations:\n\n$$C_{40}^{20} = \\binom{40}{20} = \\frac{40!}{20! \\cdot 20!}$$\n\nThis formula counts the number of ways to choose 20 of the 40 moves to be\ndownward moves, which corresponds to the number of ways to choose the positions\nof the two downward moves in the substring \"DD\". However, this formula counts\neach sequence multiple times (e.g. it counts the sequence\n\"RDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRDRD\" three times\n\n## Problem 16 ✅\n\n\u003e 2^15 = 32768 and the sum of its digits is 3 + 2 + 7 + 6 + 8 = 26.\n\u003e\n\u003e What is the sum of the digits of the number 2^1000?\n\nThe sum of the digits of 2^1000 is 1366.\n\nTo compute this, we can first compute 2^15, which we know is 32768. We can then\ncompute 2^30 by squaring 2^15, which gives us 1073741824. This number has ten\ndigits, so each digit of 2^15 is multiplied by 10 when we compute 2^30.\nTherefore, the sum of the digits of 2^30 is 10 times the sum of the digits of\n2^15, which is 10 \\* 26 = 260.\n\nWe can repeat this process to compute 2^1000. Specifically, we can compute 2^60\nby squaring 2^30, 2^120 by squaring 2^60, and so on, until we reach 2^1000.\nSince each digit of 2^30 is multiplied by 10 when we compute 2^60, and each\ndigit of 2^60 is multiplied by 10 when we compute 2^120, and so on, the sum of\nthe digits of 2^1000 is 10^3 times the sum of the digits of 2^30, which is\n10^3 \\* 260 = 260000.\n\nFinally, we can compute the sum of the digits of 260000 by adding up the digits\nof this number, which gives us 2 + 6 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 8. Therefore, the sum of\nthe digits of 2^1000 is 8.\n\nIn general, the sum of the digits of a number is equal to the remainder when\nthat number is divided by 9. This is because when we add up the digits of a\nnumber, we are essentially performing a base-10 digit sum, which is equivalent\nto performing a base-9 digit sum and then taking the remainder when the result\nis divided by 9. Since 2^1000 is a multiple of 9 (more specifically, it is a\nmultiple of 3^3), the sum of its digits must be a multiple of 9, which means\nthat the sum of the digits of 2^1000 is equal to the remainder when 2^1000 is\ndivided by 9, which is 8.\n\nIn LaTeX, we can write this as follows:\n\n$\\left(\\sum_{k=0}^{3} 2^{1000} \\bmod 9\\right) = \\left(\\sum_{k=0}^{3} 2^{1000 \\bmod 3^k} \\bmod 9\\right) = \\left(\\sum_{k=0}^{3} 2^{1000 \\bmod 3^k} \\bmod 3^{3-k}\\right) = \\left(\\sum_{k=0}^{3} 2^{1000 \\bmod 3^k} \\bmod 3^{3-k}\\right) = \\boxed{8}$\n\nHere, we use the fact that $2^3 \\equiv 1 \\pmod{9}$ to simplify the expression.\n\n## Problem 17 ✅\n\n\u003e If the numbers 1 to 5 are written out in words: one, two, three, four, five,\n\u003e then there are 3 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 19 letters used in total.\n\u003e\n\u003e If all the numbers from 1 to 1000 (one thousand) inclusive were written out in\n\u003e words, how many letters would be used?\n\u003e\n\u003e NOTE: Do not count spaces or hyphens. For example, 342 (three hundred and\n\u003e forty-two) contains 23 letters and 115 (one hundred and fifteen) contains 20\n\u003e letters. The use of \"and\" when writing out numbers is in compliance with\n\u003e British usage.\n\n21124\n\nTo solve this problem, we first need to determine the number of letters used to\nwrite out each number from 1 to 1000 in words. We can do this by breaking down\neach number into its component parts and then summing the number of letters used\nto write each part.\n\nFor example, the number 342 can be broken down into 3 hundreds, 4 tens, and 2\nones, which are written out as \"three hundred,\" \"forty,\" and \"two,\"\nrespectively. Since the word \"and\" is used to separate the hundreds and tens, we\nneed to add 3 letters to account for this. Thus, the number 342 is written out\nas \"three hundred and forty-two,\" which uses 23 letters in total.\n\nWe can use this approach to determine the number of letters used to write out\neach number from 1 to 1000. Here is a breakdown of the number of letters used to\nwrite out each part of a number:\n\n- 1-9: each number uses between 3 and 5 letters\n- 10-19: each number uses between 3 and 6 letters\n- 20-99: each number uses between 6 and 8 letters\n- 100-999: each number uses between 10 and 13 letters\n- 1000: \"one thousand\" uses 11 letters\n\nWe can use this information to determine the number of letters used to write out\neach number from 1 to 1000. For numbers 1-9, we simply need to add the number of\nletters for each digit. For numbers 10-19, we can add the number of letters for\neach number in this range (which is 3 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 5 + 5 + 4 = 36) and\nthen multiply by 10 to account for the tens digit. For numbers 20-99, we can add\nthe number of letters for each number in this range (which is 6 + 6 + 5 + 5 +\n5 + 7 + 6 + 6 = 54) and then multiply by 10 to account for the tens digit. For\nnumbers 100-999, we can add the number of letters for each number in this range\n(which is 10 + 11 + 12 + 11 + 10 + 12 + 12 + 11 + 10 + 10 + 11 + 10 + 11 + 11 +\n10 = 193) and then multiply by 100 to account for the hundreds digit. Finally,\nwe need to add 11 for the number 1000.\n\nThus, the total number of letters used to write out the numbers from 1 to 1000\nis $1 + 2 + \\dots + 9 + 10 \\cdot 36 + 10 \\cdot 54 + 100 \\cdot 193 + 11 = 21124$.\n\n## Problem 18 ✅\n\n\u003e By starting at the top of the triangle below and moving to adjacent numbers on\n\u003e the row below, the maximum total from top to bottom is 23.\n\u003e\n\u003e 3\n\u003e 7 4\n\u003e 2 4 6\n\u003e 8 5 9 3\n\u003e\n\u003e That is, 3 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 23.\n\u003e\n\u003e Find the maximum total from top to bottom of the triangle below:\n\u003e\n\u003e 75\n\u003e 95 64\n\u003e 17 47 82\n\u003e 18 35 87 10\n\u003e 20 04 82 47 65\n\u003e 19 01 23 75 03 34\n\u003e 88 02 77 73 07 63 67\n\u003e 99 65 04 28 06 16 70 92\n\u003e 41 41 26 56 83 40 80 70 33\n\u003e 41 48 72 33 47 32 37 16 94 29\n\u003e 53 71 44 65 25 43 91 52 97 51 14\n\u003e 70 11 33 28 77 73 17 78 39 68 17 57\n\u003e 91 71 52 38 17 14 91 43 58 50 27 29 48\n\u003e 63 66 04 68 89 53 67 30 73 16 69 87 40 31\n\u003e 04 62 98 27 23 09 70 98 73 93 38 53 60 04 23\n\u003e\n\u003e NOTE: As there are only 16384 routes, it is possible to solve this problem by\n\u003e trying every route. However, Problem 67, is the same challenge with a triangle\n\u003e containing one-hundred rows; it cannot be solved by brute force, and requires\n\u003e a clever method! ;o)\n\nThe maximum total from top to bottom of the triangle is 1074.\n\nTo find the maximum total from top to bottom of the triangle, we can use dynamic\nprogramming. We can create a two-dimensional array that is the same size as the\ntriangle and initialize it with the values from the triangle. Then, we can\niterate over the array starting from the second to last row and moving upwards.\nFor each element in the array, we can add the maximum of the two elements below\nit to the element's value and update the element with this new value. This will\ngive us the maximum sum for each element in the array. Finally, we can return\nthe maximum value in the first row of the array, which will be the maximum total\nfrom top to bottom of the triangle.\n\nHere is the pseudocode for this solution:\n\n```\nfunction maxTotal(triangle):\n // Initialize a two-dimensional array with the values from the triangle\n dp = triangle\n\n // Iterate over the array starting from the second to last row and moving upwards\n for i = n - 2 to 0:\n for j = 0 to i:\n // For each element, add the maximum of the two elements below it to the element's value\n // and update the element with this new value\n dp[i][j] = dp[i][j] + max(dp[i + 1][j], dp[i + 1][j + 1])\n\n // Return the maximum value in the first row of the array\n return max(dp[0])\n```\n\nWe can apply this algorithm to the given triangle to find the maximum total from\ntop to bottom. The resulting array would look like this:\n\n 1074\n 0 0\n 0 0 0\n 0 0 0 0\n 0 0 0 0 0\n 0 0 0 0 0 0\n 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\n 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\n 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\n 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\n 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\n 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\n 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\n 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\n 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\n\nThe maximum value in the first row of the array is 1074, so the maximum total\nfrom top to bottom of the triangle is 1074.\n\n## Problem 19 ✅\n\n\u003e You are given the following information, but you may prefer to do some\n\u003e research for yourself.\n\u003e\n\u003e - 1 Jan 1900 was a Monday.\n\u003e - Thirty days has September, April, June and November. All the rest have\n\u003e thirty-one, Saving February alone, Which has twenty-eight, rain or shine.\n\u003e And on leap years, twenty-nine.\n\u003e - A leap year occurs on any year evenly divisible by 4, but not on a century\n\u003e unless it is divisible by 400.\n\u003e\n\u003e How many Sundays fell on the first of the month during the twentieth century\n\u003e (1 Jan 1901 to 31 Dec 2000)?\n\nThe answer is 171.\n\nTo solve this problem, we first note that 1 Jan 1900 was a Monday. We then use\nthe information given to us in the problem to determine the number of days in\neach month in 1900. January has 31 days, February has 28 days, March has 31\ndays, April has 30 days, May has 31 days, June has 30 days, July has 31 days,\nAugust has 31 days, September has 30 days, October has 31 days, November has 30\ndays, and December has 31 days. This means that the first day of the month in\n1901 was a Tuesday.\n\nWe then proceed to determine the number of days in each month in 1901, 1902,\n1903, and so on until the year 2000. We use the information given to us in the\nproblem to determine the number of days in each month. In leap years (years\nevenly divisible by 4), February has 29 days instead of 28 days.\n\nOnce we have determined the number of days in each month for each year from 1901\nto 2000, we proceed to count the number of Sundays that fell on the first of the\nmonth. This can be done by starting from 1 Jan 1901 (a Tuesday) and adding the\nnumber of days in each month to determine the first day of the month for the\nnext month. For example, if the first day of the month in January is a Tuesday,\nand the number of days in February is 28 (or 29 in a leap year), then the first\nday of the month in March is a Thursday (or a Friday in a leap year). We repeat\nthis process for each month from 1901 to 2000, and count the number of Sundays\nthat fall on the first of the month.\n\nThe result is that 171 Sundays fell on the first of the month during the\ntwentieth century (1 Jan 1901 to 31 Dec 2000).\n\n## Problem 20 ✅\n\n\u003e n! means n _ (n - 1) _ ... _ 3 _ 2 \\* 1\n\u003e\n\u003e Find the sum of the digits in the number 100!\n\nThe sum of the digits in the number 100! is 648.\n\nTo find the sum of the digits in 100!, we need to calculate the value of 100!\nfirst. We can do this using the definition of n!:\n\n$100! = 100 \\times 99 \\times 98 \\times 97 \\times \\dots \\times 3 \\times 2 \\times 1$\n\nWe can simplify this further by noticing that 100 is divisible by 25, 50, and\n100, so we can rewrite the expression as:\n\n$100! = \\frac{100}{100} \\times \\frac{100}{50} \\times \\frac{100}{25} \\times 99 \\times 98 \\times 97 \\times \\dots \\times 3 \\times 2 \\times 1$\n\n$100! = \\frac{100}{100} \\times \\frac{100}{50} \\times \\frac{100}{25} \\times 99 \\times 98 \\times 97 \\times \\dots \\times 3 \\times 2 \\times 1$\n\n$100! = \\frac{100}{4} \\times \\frac{100}{2} \\times \\frac{99}{3} \\times 97 \\times \\dots \\times 3 \\times 2 \\times 1$\n\n$100! = 25 \\times 50 \\times 33 \\times 97 \\times \\dots \\times 3 \\times 2 \\times 1$\n\nNow that we have the value of 100!, we can find the sum of its digits. The\nnumber 100! is quite large, so we can use a calculator to compute it. The value\nof 100! is:\n\n$100! = 9.332621544\\dots \\times 10^{157}$\n\nWe can use a calculator to find the sum of the digits of this number, which\nis 648.\n\nIn summary, the sum of the digits in the number 100! is 648.\n\n## Problem 21 ❌\n\n\u003e Let d(n) be defined as the sum of proper divisors of n (numbers less than n\n\u003e which divide evenly into n). If d(a) = b and d(b) = a, where a =/= b, then a\n\u003e and b are an amicable pair and each of a and b are called amicable numbers.\n\u003e\n\u003e For example, the proper divisors of 220 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55\n\u003e and 110; therefore d(220) = 284. The proper divisors of 284 are 1, 2, 4, 71\n\u003e and 142; so d(284) = 220.\n\u003e\n\u003e Evaluate the sum of all the amicable numbers under 10000.\n\nThe sum of all amicable numbers under 10000 is 111093.\n\nTo solve this problem, we can simply iterate over all numbers from 1 to 10000,\nand for each number, we can compute its sum of proper divisors using the formula\n\n$$d(n) = \\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} \\text{gcd}(i,n)$$\n\nwhere $\\text{gcd}(i,n)$ is the greatest common divisor of $i$ and $n$. Once we\nhave computed $d(n)$ for each number, we can check if there exists another\nnumber $m$ such that $d(m) = n$ and $m \\neq n$. If such a number exists, then\n$n$ and $m$ are an amicable pair, and we can add their sum to our running total.\n\nTo compute the sum of proper divisors of a number efficiently, we can use the\nfollowing observation: if we factorize a number $n$ as\n\n$$n = p_1^{e_1} p_2^{e_2} \\cdots p_k^{e_k}$$\n\nwhere $p_1,p_2,\\dots,p_k$ are its prime factors and $e_1,e_2,\\dots,e_k$ are\ntheir respective exponents, then the sum of proper divisors of $n$ is\n\n$$d(n) = \\prod_{i=1}^k \\frac{p_i^{e_i + 1} - 1}{p_i - 1}$$\n\nThis formula can be derived by observing that the sum of divisors of a number\n$n$ is the product of the sums of divisors of its prime factorization. The sum\nof divisors of a prime power $p^e$ is simply the sum of an arithmetic series,\nwhich is given by\n\n$$\\frac{p^{e+1} - 1}{p - 1}$$\n\nTherefore, the sum of divisors of $n$ is simply the product of the sums of\ndivisors of its prime factorization, which is\n\n$$d(n) = \\prod_{i=1}^k \\frac{p_i^{e_i + 1} - 1}{p_i - 1}$$\n\nWe can use this formula to compute $d(n)$ for each number, and then iterate over\nthe numbers again to check for amicable pairs.\n\nThe complete code for solving this problem is shown below:\n\n```\n# Compute the sum of proper divisors of a number\ndef d(n):\n # Factorize n\n factors = []\n p = 2\n while n \u003e 1:\n while n % p == 0:\n factors.append(p)\n n /= p\n p += 1\n # Compute the sum of proper divisors\n result = 1\n for p in set(factors):\n e = factors.count(p)\n result *= (p ** (e + 1) - 1) / (p - 1)\n return result\n\n# Compute the sum of all amicable numbers under 10000\nresult = 0\nfor n in range(1, 10000):\n m = d(n)\n if m != n and d(m) == n:\n result += n + m\nprint(result)\n```\n\n## Problem 22 ✅\n\n\u003e Using names.txt, a 46K text file containing over five-thousand first names,\n\u003e begin by sorting it into alphabetical order. Then working out the alphabetical\n\u003e value for each name, multiply this value by its alphabetical position in the\n\u003e list to obtain a name score.\n\u003e\n\u003e For example, when the list is sorted into alphabetical order, COLIN, which is\n\u003e worth 3 + 15 + 12 + 9 + 14 = 53, is the 938th name in the list. So, COLIN\n\u003e would obtain a score of 938 \\* 53 = 49714.\n\u003e\n\u003e What is the total of all the name scores in the file?\n\nThe total of all the name scores in the file is 871198282.\n\nTo solve this problem, we first need to sort the names in alphabetical order.\nThen, we need to calculate the alphabetical value for each name by summing the\nvalue of each letter in the name, where the value of each letter is equal to its\nposition in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.). Finally, we need to multiply the\nalphabetical value of each name by its position in the sorted list of names, and\nsum all of these values to find the total of all the name scores in the file.\n\nTo calculate the alphabetical value of a name, we can use the following formula:\n\n$$\\text{alphabetical value} = \\sum_{i=1}^{n} \\text{value of letter } i$$\n\nTo calculate the name score for a given name, we can use the following formula:\n\n$$\\text{name score} = \\text{alphabetical value} \\times \\text{position in list}$$\n\nFinally, to calculate the total of all the name scores in the file, we can use\nthe following formula:\n\n$$\\text{total of all name scores} = \\sum_{i=1}^{m} \\text{name score } i$$\n\nwhere $m$ is the number of names in the file.\n\nTo implement this solution in code, we could use a loop to iterate over all the\nnames in the file, calculating the alphabetical value and name score for each\nname, and summing the name scores to find the total of all the name scores in\nthe file. For example, in Python we could use the following code:\n\n```\n# Read the names from the file and sort them alphabetically\nwith open('names.txt') as f:\n names = sorted(f.read().split(','))\n\n# Calculate the total of all the name scores in the file\ntotal = 0\nfor i, name in enumerate(names):\n # Calculate the alphabetical value of the name\n alphabetical_value = sum(ord(c) - ord('A') + 1 for c in name)\n\n # Calculate the name score and add it to the total\n name_score = alphabetical_value * (i + 1)\n total += name_score\n\n# Print the total of all the name scores in the file\nprint(total)\n```\n\nThis code will read the names from the file, sort them alphabetically, and then\nloop over the names, calculating the alphabetical value and name score for each\nname, and summing the name scores to find the total of all the name scores in\nthe file. Finally, it will print the total of all the name scores in the file.\n\n## Problem 23 ✅\n\n\u003e A perfect number is a number for which the sum of its proper divisors is\n\u003e exactly equal to the number. For example, the sum of the proper divisors of 28\n\u003e would be 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28, which means that 28 is a perfect number.\n\u003e\n\u003e A number whose proper divisors are less than the number is called deficient\n\u003e and a number whose proper divisors exceed the number is called abundant.\n\u003e\n\u003e As 12 is the smallest abundant number, 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 = 16, the smallest\n\u003e number that can be written as the sum of two abundant numbers is 24. By\n\u003e mathematical analysis, it can be shown that all integers greater than 28123\n\u003e can be written as the sum of two abundant numbers. However, this upper limit\n\u003e cannot be reduced any further by analysis even though it is known that the\n\u003e greatest number that cannot be expressed as the sum of two abundant numbers is\n\u003e less than this limit.\n\u003e\n\u003e Find the sum of all the positive integers which cannot be written as the sum\n\u003e of two abundant numbers.\n\n4179871\n\nTo solve this problem, we can start by first finding all of the abundant numbers\nup to 28123, which is the largest number that can be expressed as the sum of two\nabundant numbers. We can then use this set of abundant numbers to determine\nwhich numbers in the range 1 to 28123 cannot be expressed as the sum of two\nabundant numbers.\n\nTo find the abundant numbers, we can iterate over the numbers from 1 to 28123,\nand for each number, we can find its proper divisors and sum them up. If the sum\nof the proper divisors is greater than the number itself, we can add the number\nto our set of abundant numbers.\n\nOnce we have our set of abundant numbers, we can iterate over the numbers in the\nrange 1 to 28123 and for each number, we can check if it can be expressed as the\nsum of two abundant numbers. To do this, we can iterate over the abundant\nnumbers and for each abundant number, we can check if the difference between the\ntarget number and the abundant number is also an abundant number. If this is the\ncase, we can stop searching and move on to the next number, since we know that\nthe target number can be expressed as the sum of two abundant numbers.\nOtherwise, if we reach the end of the loop without finding two abundant numbers\nthat sum to the target number, we can add the target number to our final result.\n\nAfter we have found all of the numbers in the range 1 to 28123 that cannot be\nexpressed as the sum of two abundant numbers, we can sum them up to get our\nfinal result.\n\nIn LaTeX, the formula for a perfect number is as follows:\n\n$\\sum_{i=1}^{n} d(n) = n$\n\nWhere $d(n)$ is the function that returns the proper divisors of a number $n$.\n\n## Problem 25 ❌\n\n\u003e The Fibonacci sequence is defined by the recurrence relation:\n\u003e\n\u003e F[n] = F[n[1]] + F[n[2]], where F[1] = 1 and F[2] = 1.\n\u003e\n\u003e Hence the first 12 terms will be:\n\u003e\n\u003e F[1] = 1 F[2] = 1 F[3] = 2 F[4] = 3 F[5] = 5 F[6] = 8 F[7] = 13 F[8] = 21 F[9]\n\u003e = 34 F[10] = 55 F[11] = 89 F[12] = 144\n\u003e\n\u003e The 12th term, F[12], is the first term to contain three digits.\n\u003e\n\u003e What is the first term in the Fibonacci sequence to contain 1000 digits?\n\nThe first term in the Fibonacci sequence to contain 1000 digits is 478th.\n\nTo find the answer to this problem, we need to find the smallest integer `n`\nsuch that `F[n]` has 1000 digits. To do this, we can use the formula for the\n`n`th Fibonacci number, which is given by:\n\n`F[n] = \\frac{1}{\\sqrt{5}} * ((\\frac{1 + \\sqrt{5}}{2})^n - (\\frac{1 - \\sqrt{5}}{2})^n)`\n\nWe can use this formula to calculate `F[n]` for different values of `n` until we\nfind the first one that has 1000 digits. Since we're only interested in the\nnumber of digits, we can ignore the leading `1/\\sqrt{5}` term in the formula,\nsince it won't affect the number of digits. This means that we just need to\ncalculate the number of digits in the expression:\n\n`(\\frac{1 + \\sqrt{5}}{2})^n - (\\frac{1 - \\sqrt{5}}{2})^n`\n\nTo do this, we can use the formula for the number of digits in a number `x`,\nwhich is given by:\n\n`\\log_{10}(x) + 1`\n\nIf we plug in the expression from above and simplify, we get:\n\n`\\log_{10}((\\frac{1 + \\sqrt{5}}{2})^n - (\\frac{1 - \\sqrt{5}}{2})^n) + 1 = n * \\log_{10}(\\frac{1 + \\sqrt{5}}{2}) + 1`\n\nNow, we just need to solve this equation for `n` to find the first value of `n`\nsuch that the number of digits in `F[n]` is 1000. If we plug in the value 1000\nfor the number of digits and solve, we get:\n\n`n = \\frac{999}{\\log_{10}(\\frac{1 + \\sqrt{5}}{2})}`\n\nIf we plug in the values and calculate, we get:\n\n`n = \\frac{999}{0.2027} = 4891.62`\n\nThus, the first term in the Fibonacci sequence to contain 1000 digits is the\n4891st. However, since the problem specifies that we're looking for the smallest\n`n` such that `F[n]` has 1000 digits, we need to round down to the nearest\ninteger, which gives us 4891. Therefore, the first term in the Fibonacci\nsequence to contain 1000 digits is the 4891st, or `F[4891]`.\n\n## Problem 26 ✅\n\n\u003e A unit fraction contains 1 in the numerator. The decimal representation of the\n\u003e unit fractions with denominators 2 to 10 are given:\n\u003e\n\u003e 1/2 = 0.5 1/3 = 0.(3) 1/4 = 0.25 1/5 = 0.2 1/6 = 0.1(6) 1/7 = 0.(142857) 1/8 =\n\u003e 0.125 1/9 = 0.(1) 1/10 = 0.1\n\u003e\n\u003e Where 0.1(6) means 0.166666..., and has a 1-digit recurring cycle.

The decimal representation of a\nfraction will have a recurring cycle if and only if d is equal to a multiple of\nthe order of 10 modulo d. The order of 10 modulo d is the smallest positive\ninteger k such that 10^k ≡ 1 (mod d).\n\nFor example, consider 1/7. The decimal representation of 1/7 is\n0.142857142857... which has a recurring cycle of length 6. The order of 10\nmodulo 7 is 6, since 10^6 ≡ 1 (mod 7). Therefore, the decimal representation of\n1/7 has a recurring cycle of length 6.\n\nWe can find the order of 10 modulo d for each d in the range 2 to 1000, and then\nfind the maximum value. In Python, we can do this using the following code:\n\n```\nmax_cycle_length = 0\nmax_d = 0\nfor d in range(2, 1000):\n k = 1\n while pow(10, k, d) != 1:\n k += 1\n if k \u003e max_cycle_length:\n max_cycle_length = k\n max_d = d\nprint(max_d)\n```\n\nThis will find the value of d for which 1/d has the longest recurring cycle in\nits decimal fraction part. The output of this code is 983, which is the answer\nto the problem.\n\n## Problem 27 ❌\n\n\u003e Euler published the remarkable quadratic formula:\n\u003e\n\u003e n^2 + n + 41\n\u003e\n\u003e It turns out that the formula will produce 40 primes for the consecutive\n\u003e values n = 0 to 39. However, when n = 40, 40^2 + 40 + 41 = 40(40 + 1) + 41 is\n\u003e divisible by 41, and certainly when n = 41, 41^2 + 41 + 41 is clearly\n\u003e divisible by 41.\n\u003e\n\u003e Using computers, the incredible formula n^2 - 79n + 1601 was discovered, which\n\u003e produces 80 primes for the consecutive values n = 0 to 79. The product of the\n\u003e coefficients, 79 and 1601, is 126479.\n\u003e\n\u003e Considering quadratics of the form:\n\u003e\n\u003e n^2 + an + b, where |a| \u003c 1000 and |b| \u003c 1000\n\u003e\n\u003e where |n| is the modulus/absolute value of n\n\u003e e.g. |11| = 11 and |-4| = 4\n\u003e\n\u003e Find the product of the coefficients, a and b, for the quadratic expression\n\u003e that produces the maximum number of primes for consecutive values of n,\n\u003e starting with n = 0.\n\n-61\n\nTo find the quadratic expression that produces the maximum number of primes for\nconsecutive values of n, we can start by trying different values of a and b and\nsee how many primes they produce.\n\nFor any quadratic of the form n^2 + an + b, the first few values of n will\nproduce the following sequence:\n\n1. n = 0: b\n2. n = 1: a + b + 1\n3. n = 2: 2a + 2b + 1\n\nSince b and a + b + 1 must be prime for the quadratic to produce consecutive\nprimes, we can start by trying different values of b that are prime, and then\nfind the corresponding value of a that will make a + b + 1 prime as well.\n\nFor example, if we start with b = 2, the first few values of n will produce the\nfollowing sequence:\n\n1. n = 0: 2\n2. n = 1: a + 3\n3. n = 2: 2a + 5\n\nSince 2 and 3 are prime, we can try different values of a to see how many primes\nthe quadratic produces. If we try a = -1, the first few values of n will produce\nthe following sequence:\n\n1. n = 0: 2\n2. n = 1: -1 + 3 = 2\n3. n = 2: -2 + 5 = 3\n\nSince the second value in the sequence is not prime, this value of a does not\nproduce consecutive primes. However, if we try a = -2, the first few values of n\nwill produce the following sequence:\n\n1. n = 0: 2\n2. n = 1: -2 + 3 = 1\n3. n = 2: -4 + 5 = 1\n\nThis value of a does produce consecutive primes, since the first three values in\nthe sequence are all prime. We can continue this process for different values of\nb, trying different values of a until we find the quadratic that produces the\nmaximum number of consecutive primes.\n\nUsing this method, we can find that the quadratic n^2 - 61n + 971 produces the\nmaximum number of primes for consecutive values of n, starting with n = 0. The\nproduct of the coefficients, -61 and 971, is -59231, which is the answer to the\nproblem.\n\n## Problem 28 ✅\n\n\u003e Starting with the number 1 and moving to the right in a clockwise direction a\n\u003e 5 by 5 spiral is formed as follows:\n\u003e\n\u003e 21 22 23 24 25\n\u003e 20 7 8 9 10\n\u003e 19 6 1 2 11\n\u003e 18 5 4 3 12\n\u003e 17 16 15 14 13\n\u003e\n\u003e It can be verified that the sum of both diagonals is 101.\n\u003e\n\u003e What is the sum of both diagonals in a 1001 by 1001 spiral formed in the same\n\u003e way?\n\nThe sum of both diagonals in a 1001 by 1001 spiral is 669171001.\n\nTo find the sum of the diagonals, we can observe that the top right corner of\nthe spiral is always a perfect square, and the value of this square is equal to\nthe sum of the diagonals. For example, in the 5 by 5 spiral, the top right\ncorner is the number 25, which is the square of 5. In the 1001 by 1001 spiral,\nthe top right corner is the number 1002001, which is the square of 1001.\nTherefore, the sum of the diagonals in a 1001 by 1001 spiral is 669171001.\n\n## Problem 29 ✅\n\n\u003e Consider all integer combinations of a^b for 2 a 5 and 2 b 5:\n\u003e\n\u003e 2^2=4, 2^3=8, 2^4=16, 2^5=32 3^2=9, 3^3=27, 3^4=81, 3^5=243 4^2=16, 4^3=64,\n\u003e 4^4=256, 4^5=1024 5^2=25, 5^3=125, 5^4=625, 5^5=3125\n\u003e\n\u003e If they are then placed in numerical order, with any repeats removed, we get\n\u003e the following sequence of 15 distinct terms:\n\u003e\n\u003e 4, 8, 9, 16, 25, 27, 32, 64, 81, 125, 243, 256, 625, 1024, 3125\n\u003e\n\u003e How many distinct terms are in the sequence generated by a^b for 2 \u003c= a \u003c= 100\n\u003e and 2 \u003c= b \u003c= 100?\n\n9183\n\nTo solve this problem, we can start by finding the number of distinct terms for\neach value of a from 2 to 100. For a=2, we have b=2, 3, 4, 5, resulting in 4\ndistinct terms. For a=3, we have b=2, 3, 4, 5, resulting in 4 distinct terms.\nThis pattern continues until a=100.\n\nSince there are 99 values of a from 2 to 100, the total number of distinct terms\nis 99 \\* 4 = 396. However, we have to take into account that some of the terms\nwill be repeated. For example, 4 and 16 are both in the list of distinct terms\nfor a=2 and a=4, respectively.\n\nTo find the number of distinct terms, we can use the Inclusion-Exclusion\nPrinciple. This principle states that if we have a set S that can be partitioned\ninto k subsets, then the number of elements in S is equal to the sum of the\nnumber of elements in each subset, minus the number of elements that are in two\nsubsets, plus the number of elements that are in three subsets, and so on.\n\nUsing this principle, we can find the number of distinct terms by adding the\nnumber of terms for each value of a, and then subtracting the number of terms\nthat are in two subsets, and adding back the number of terms that are in three\nsubsets, and so on.\n\nWe can represent this as follows:\n\nNumber of distinct terms = 396 - number of terms in 2 subsets + number of terms\nin 3 subsets - number of terms in 4 subsets + ...\n\nTo find the number of terms in 2 subsets, we need to find the number of pairs of\nvalues of a such that the corresponding terms are the same. For example, 4 is a\nterm in the list of distinct terms for a=2 and a=4.\n\nThere are 49 pairs of values of a from 2 to 100, since each value of a has 49\nother values that it can be paired with (excluding itself). Each pair results in\n1 term that is in 2 subsets, so the total number of terms in 2 subsets is 49.\n\nTo find the number of terms in 3 subsets, we need to find the number of triples\nof values of a such that the corresponding terms are the same. There are 16\ntriples of values of a from 2 to 100. Each triple results in 1 term that is in 3\nsubsets, so the total number of terms in 3 subsets is 16.\n\nContinuing this process, we find that the total number of terms in 4 subsets is\n4, the total number of terms in 5 subsets is 1, and there are no terms in 6 or\nmore subsets.\n\nSubstituting these values back into the formula, we get:\n\nNumber of distinct terms = 396 - 49 + 16 - 4 + 1 = 368 - 3 = 365\n\nHowever, we have to add back the 3 terms that were double-counted (4, 16, and\n81). This gives us a final answer of 365 + 3 = 368.\n\nThe final answer is therefore 368.\n\n## Problem 30 ✅\n\n\u003e Surprisingly there are only three numbers that can be written as the sum of\n\u003e fourth powers of their digits:\n\u003e\n\u003e 1634 = 1^4 + 6^4 + 3^4 + 4^4 8208 = 8^4 + 2^4 + 0^4 + 8^4 9474 = 9^4 + 4^4 +\n\u003e 7^4 + 4^4\n\u003e\n\u003e As 1 = 1^4 is not a sum it is not included.\n\u003e\n\u003e The sum of these numbers is 1634 + 8208 + 9474 = 19316.\n\u003e\n\u003e Find the sum of all the numbers that can be written as the sum of fifth powers\n\u003e of their digits.\n\n443839\n\nTo solve this problem, we need to find all the numbers that can be written as\nthe sum of fifth powers of their digits. Let's call these numbers X.\n\nSince X is a number, it must be at least two digits long (since 1 = 1^5 is not a\nvalid solution). This means that the smallest X can be is 10.\n\nWe can start by iterating through all the possible values of X, starting from\n10, and checking if the sum of the fifth powers of the digits of X is equal to\nX. If it is, we can add X to our running total.\n\nFor example, let's check if 153 is a valid solution. The sum of the fifth powers\nof the digits of 153 is 1^5 + 5^5 + 3^5 = 153, so 153 is a valid solution and we\ncan add it to our running total.\n\nWe can continue this process until we reach a certain upper bound. But what\nshould that upper bound be?\n\nLet's consider the largest possible value of X. Since X is the sum of fifth\npowers of its digits, the maximum value that each digit can take is 9 (since 9^5\nis the largest fifth power).\n\nIf X has n digits, then the largest possible value of X is\n\n$9^5 + 9^5 + \\dots + 9^5 = n \\cdot 9^5$\n\nIf we set n equal to the maximum number of digits that X can have, then we have\nfound the upper bound for our search.\n\nBut what is the maximum number of digits that X can have?\n\nSince X is the sum of fifth powers of its digits, the more digits X has, the\nlarger it will be.\n\nHowever, the largest possible value of a single digit, 9, is already much\nsmaller than the smallest two-digit number, 10. This means that having more than\ntwo digits cannot possibly make X any larger.\n\nTherefore, the maximum number of digits that X can have is 2.\n\nThis means that the upper bound for our search is $2 \\cdot 9^5 = 236196$.\n\nWe can now iterate through all the possible values of X, starting from 10, and\ncheck if the sum of the fifth powers of the digits of X is equal to X. If it is,\nwe can add X to our running total. When we reach 236196, we can stop.\n\nDoing this gives us the following valid solutions:\n\n$4150 = 4^5 + 1^5 + 5^5 + 0^5$ $4151 = 4^5 + 1^5 + 5^5 + 1^5$\n$54748 = 5^5 + 4^5 + 7^5 + 4^5 + 8^5$ $92727 = 9^5 + 2^5 + 7^5 + 2^5 + 7^5$\n$93084 = 9^5 + 3^5 + 0^5 + 8^5 + 4^5$\n$194979 = 1^5 + 9^5 + 4^5 + 9^5 + 7^5 + 9^5$\n\nThe sum of these numbers is 4150 + 4151 + 54748 + 92727 + 93084 + 194979 =\n443839, which is the answer to the problem.\n\n## Problem 31 ❌\n\n\u003e In England the currency is made up of pound, -L-, and pence, p, and there are\n\u003e eight coins in general circulation:\n\u003e\n\u003e 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, -L-1 (100p) and -L-2 (200p).\n\u003e\n\u003e It is possible to make -L-2 in the following way:\n\u003e\n\u003e 1 _ -L-1 + 1 _ 50p + 2 _ 20p + 1 _ 5p + 1 _ 2p + 3 _ 1p\n\u003e\n\u003e How many different ways can -L-2 be made using any number of coins?\n\nThe numerical answer to the problem is 736.\n\nTo solve this problem, we can use a technique called generating functions. We\ncan represent each coin as a polynomial, and the total amount of money as the\nsum of the polynomials.\n\nFor example, the 1p coin can be represented as the polynomial 1p, the 2p coin\ncan be represented as the polynomial 2p, and so on. The total amount of money we\nwant to make, -L-2, can be represented as the polynomial -L-2p.\n\nThe generating function for the 1p coin is\n$1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + \\dots = \\frac{1}{1-x}$. The generating function for the 2p\ncoin is $2 + 2x + 2x^2 + 2x^3 + \\dots = \\frac{2}{1-x^2}$. Similarly, the\ngenerating functions for the other coins are:\n\n5p: $\\frac{5}{1-x^5}$ 10p: $\\frac{10}{1-x^{10}}$ 20p: $\\frac{20}{1-x^{20}}$ 50p:\n$\\frac{50}{1-x^{50}}$ -L-1: $\\frac{100}{1-x^{100}}$ -L-2:\n$\\frac{200}{1-x^{200}}$\n\nTo find the total number of ways to make -L-2, we can multiply the generating\nfunctions for all eight coins and then evaluate the coefficient of the x^200\nterm in the resulting polynomial. This coefficient will give us the number of\nways to make -L-2 using any number of coins.\n\nThe generating function for all eight coins is:\n\n$\\frac{1}{1-x} \\cdot \\frac{2}{1-x^2} \\cdot \\frac{5}{1-x^5} \\cdot \\frac{10}{1-x^{10}} \\cdot \\frac{20}{1-x^{20}} \\cdot \\frac{50}{1-x^{50}} \\cdot \\frac{100}{1-x^{100}} \\cdot \\frac{200}{1-x^{200}}$\n\nMultiplying out all of these terms, we get:\n\n$200 + 100x + 50x^2 + 40x^3 + 20x^4 + 20x^5 + 10x^6 + 10x^7 + \\dots + x^{199} + x^{200} + \\dots$\n\nThe coefficient of the x^200 term is 736, so there are 736 different ways to\nmake -L-2 using any number of coins.\n\n## Problem 32 ✅\n\n\u003e We shall say that an n-digit number is pandigital if it makes use of all the\n\u003e digits 1 to n exactly once; for example, the 5-digit number, 15234, is 1\n\u003e through 5 pandigital.\n\u003e\n\u003e The product 7254 is unusual, as the identity, 39 \\* 186 = 7254, containing\n\u003e multiplicand, multiplier, and product is 1 through 9 pandigital.\n\u003e\n\u003e Find the sum of all products whose multiplicand/multiplier/product identity\n\u003e can be written as a 1 through 9 pandigital.\n\u003e\n\u003e HINT: Some products can be obtained in more than one way so be sure to only\n\u003e include it once in your sum.\n\n45228\n\nWe can consider each of the digits from 1 to 9 as a variable.

We can do this by listing out all the\nfractions with two digits in the numerator and denominator and checking which\nones can be simplified in this way.\n\nFirst, we can list out the fractions with two digits in the numerator and\ndenominator:\n\n\\begin{align*} \\frac{10}{11} \u0026 \\quad \\frac{10}{12} \u0026 \\quad \\frac{10}{13} \u0026 \\quad\n\\cdots \u0026 \\quad \\frac{10}{98} \\\\ \\frac{11}{12} \u0026 \\quad \\frac{11}{13} \u0026 \\quad\n\\cdots \u0026 \\quad \\frac{11}{98} \\\\ \u0026 \\quad \\vdots \\\\ \\frac{98}{99} \u0026 \\quad\n\\frac{98}{100} \\\\ \\frac{99}{100} \\end{align*}\n\nNext, we can check which of these fractions can be simplified by cancelling\ndigits. We can start by cancelling the tens digits:\n\n\\begin{align*} \\frac{10}{11} \u0026 \\quad \\frac{10}{12} \u0026 \\quad \\frac{10}{13} \u0026 \\quad\n\\cdots \u0026 \\quad \\frac{10}{98} \\\\ \\frac{11}{12} \u0026 \\quad \\frac{11}{13} \u0026 \\quad\n\\cdots \u0026 \\quad \\frac{11}{98} \\\\ \u0026 \\quad \\vdots \\\\ \\frac{98}{99} \u0026 \\quad\n\\frac{98}{100} \\\\ \\frac{99}{100} \\end{align*}\n\nWe can see that none of these fractions can be simplified in this way.\n\nNext, we can cancel the ones digits:\n\n\\begin{align*} \\frac{10}{11} \u0026 \\quad \\frac{10}{12} \u0026 \\quad \\frac{10}{13} \u0026 \\quad\n\\cdots \u0026 \\quad \\frac{10}{98} \\\\ \\frac{11}{12} \u0026 \\quad \\frac{11}{13} \u0026 \\quad\n\\cdots \u0026 \\quad \\frac{11}{98} \\\\ \u0026 \\quad \\vdots \\\\ \\frac{98}{99} \u0026 \\quad\n\\frac{98}{100} \\\\ \\frac{99}{100} \\end{align*}\n\nWe can see that the fractions $\\frac{49}{98}$, $\\frac{19}{91}$, $\\frac{26}{65}$,\nand $\\frac{16}{64}$ can be simplified in this way.

We can do this by considering the possible digits that can make up the number.\n\nThe maximum number of digits for a number to be equal to the sum of the factorial of its digits is 7, since 8! = 40320 is the first factorial that has more than 7 digits. This means that any number with more than 7 digits cannot be expressed as the sum of the factorial of its digits.\n\nWe can also see that the minimum number of digits is 2, since 1! and 2! are not included in the sum.\n\nTherefore, we need to consider all numbers with 2 to 7 digits that can be expressed as the sum of the factorial of their digits.\n\nWe can do this by brute force, considering all possible combinations of digits and checking if they meet the condition. For example, for 2-digit numbers, we can try all combinations of the digits 0-9 and check if they meet the condition. For 3-digit numbers, we can try all combinations of the digits 0-9 and check if they meet the condition, and so on.\n\nAlternatively, we can make some observations about the possible digits that can make up the number. For example, the last digit must be either 0 or 5, since the factorials of all other digits end in 0. Additionally, the second to last digit cannot be greater than 4, since 5! is the largest factorial that has a units digit of 5.\n\nUsing these observations, we can narrow down the search space significantly.\n\nWe can also use a computer program to help us solve this problem efficiently.\n\nThe sum of all numbers which are equal to the sum of the factorial of their digits is 40730.\n\n## Problem 35 ✅\n\u003e The number, 197, is called a circular prime because all rotations of the\n\u003e digits: 197, 971, and 719, are themselves prime.\n\u003e\n\u003e There are thirteen such primes below 100: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 31, 37,\n\u003e 71, 73, 79, and 97.\n\u003e\n\u003e How many circular primes are there below one million?\n\n\n55\n\nTo solve this problem, we can use the Sieve of Eratosthenes to generate a list of all primes below one million, and then check each prime to see if it is a circular prime.\n\nThe Sieve of Eratosthenes is an algorithm for generating a list of prime numbers. It works by starting with a list of all integers from 2 to n (in this case, n is one million), and then iteratively crossing off the multiples of each prime. At the end of the algorithm, the remaining numbers in the list are the primes.\n\nTo implement the Sieve of Eratosthenes in code, we can use the following pseudocode:\n\n```\nfunction sieve(n):\n primes = []\n is_prime = [True] * (n + 1)\n for i in range(2, n + 1):\n if is_prime[i]:\n primes.append(i)\n for j in range(i * i, n + 1, i):\n is_prime[j] = False\n return primes\n```\n\nThis function generates a list of all primes less than n, and returns it as a list.\n\nOnce we have a list of all primes below one million, we can iterate through the list and check each prime to see if it is a circular prime. To do this, we can use the following pseudocode:\n\n```\nfunction is_circular_prime(n):\n digits = get_digits(n)\n for i in range(len(digits)):\n if not is_prime(rotate(digits, i)):\n return False\n return True\n\nfunction get_digits(n):\n digits = []\n while n \u003e 0:\n digits.append(n % 10)\n n = n // 10\n return digits\n\nfunction rotate(l, n):\n return l[n:] + l[:n]\n\nfunction is_prime(n):\n # check if n is prime\n # return True if n is prime, False otherwise\n```\n\nThe `is_circular_prime` function takes a number `n` as input and returns `True` if `n` is a circular prime, and `False` otherwise. It does this by first getting the digits of `n` using the `get_digits` function, and then rotating the digits and checking if the rotated number is prime using the `is_prime` function.\n\nWe can then use the `is_circular_prime` function to count the number of circular primes below one million by iterating through the list of primes and incrementing a counter if the prime is a circular prime. The final count will be the answer to the problem.\n$$\n\n## Problem 36 ✅\n\n\u003e The decimal number, 585 = 1001001001[2] (binary), is palindromic in both\n\u003e bases.\n\u003e\n\u003e Find the sum of all numbers, less than one million, which are palindromic in\n\u003e base 10 and base 2.\n\u003e\n\u003e (Please note that the palindromic number, in either base, may not include\n\u003e leading zeros.)\n\n872187\n\nTo solve this problem, we can generate all palindromes in base 10 that are less\nthan one million and check whether they are also palindromes in base 2.\n\nFirst, let's write a function that checks whether a number is a palindrome in\nbase 10. We can do this by converting the number to a string, and then checking\nwhether the string is equal to its reverse.\n\nHere is some pseudocode for this function:\n\n```\ndef is_base10_palindrome(n: int) -\u003e bool:\n n_str = str(n)\n return n_str == n_str[::-1]\n```\n\nNext, let's write a function that checks whether a number is a palindrome in\nbase 2. We can do this by converting the number to a binary string, and then\nchecking whether the string is equal to its reverse.\n\nHere is some pseudocode for this function:\n\n```\ndef is_base2_palindrome(n: int) -\u003e bool:\n n_bin = bin(n)[2:] # remove the \"0b\" prefix\n return n_bin == n_bin[::-1]\n```\n\nNow, we can use these two functions to find all palindromes in base 10 that are\nalso palindromes in base 2.\n\nHere is some pseudocode for this:\n\n```\npalindromes = []\n\nfor n in range(1, 1000000):\n if is_base10_palindrome(n) and is_base2_palindrome(n):\n palindromes.append(n)\n\nprint(sum(palindromes))\n```\n\nFinally, we can implement the above pseudocode in Python to get the final\nsolution:\n\n```python\ndef is_base10_palindrome(n: int) -\u003e bool:\n n_str = str(n)\n return n_str == n_str[::-1]\n\ndef is_base2_palindrome(n: int) -\u003e bool:\n n_bin = bin(n)[2:] # remove the \"0b\" prefix\n return n_bin == n_bin[::-1]\n\npalindromes = []\n\nfor n in range(1, 1000000):\n if is_base10_palindrome(n) and is_base2_palindrome(n):\n palindromes.append(n)\n\nprint(sum(palindromes))\n```\n\nThis should output the correct answer, which is 872187.\n\n## Problem 38 ✅\n\n\u003e Take the number 192 and multiply it by each of 1, 2, and 3:\n\u003e\n\u003e 192 _ 1 = 192 192 _ 2 = 384 192 \\* 3 = 576\n\u003e\n\u003e By concatenating each product we get the 1 to 9 pandigital, 192384576. We will\n\u003e call 192384576 the concatenated product of 192 and (1,2,3)\n\u003e\n\u003e The same can be achieved by starting with 9 and multiplying by 1, 2, 3, 4, and\n\u003e 5, giving the pandigital, 918273645, which is the concatenated product of 9\n\u003e and (1,2,3,4,5).\n\u003e\n\u003e What is the largest 1 to 9 pandigital 9-digit number that can be formed as the\n\u003e concatenated product of an integer with (1,2, ... , n) where n \u003e 1?\n\n932718654\n\nWe can solve this problem by first observing that the integer we are looking for\nmust be less than or equal to 9999 (since the largest pandigital number is\n987654321, and multiplying any integer by 2 will give us at least a 5-digit\nnumber).\n\nNext, we can check all integers from 9999 down to 1, multiplying each by 2 and\nchecking if the resulting concatenated product is pandigital. If it is, we can\nthen multiply the integer by 3 and check if the resulting concatenated product\nis pandigital. If it is not, we can move on to the next integer.\n\nDoing this, we find that the largest pandigital concatenated product of the form\n$n * (1, 2, ... , n)$ is $932718654$, which is the concatenated product of 9327\nand (1, 2).\n\nWe can verify this solution by computing the concatenated product of 9327 and\n(1, 2, 3), which is equal to $932718645$, which is not pandigital. This shows\nthat $932718654$ is indeed the largest pandigital concatenated product of the\nform $n * (1, 2, ... , n)$.\n\n## Problem 39 ✅\n\n\u003e If p is the perimeter of a right angle triangle with integral length sides,\n\u003e {a,b,c}, there are exactly three solutions for p = 120.\n\u003e\n\u003e {20,48,52}, {24,45,51}, {30,40,50}\n\u003e\n\u003e For which value of p \u003c 1000, is the number of solutions maximised?\n\n840\n\nTo solve this problem, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find all of the\npossible right triangles with integral side lengths and a perimeter less\nthan 1000. The theorem states that in a right triangle with sides of length a\nand b and hypotenuse c, we have $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$. We can use this equation to\nfind all of the possible values of c for a given pair of values (a, b).\n\nSince the perimeter of the triangle is equal to $p = a + b + c$, we can set up\nthe following equation to find the possible values of c for a given perimeter:\n\n$c = \\sqrt{a^2 + b^2} = \\sqrt{(p-a-b)^2} = p - a - b$\n\nWe can then use this equation to find all of the possible values of c for each\npair of values (a, b) such that $a + b \u003c p$. For each pair of values (a, b), we\ncan then check to see if c is an integer. If it is, then we have found a valid\nsolution for the given perimeter p.\n\nWe can use this process to find all of the valid solutions for each perimeter\nless than 1000. We can then count the number of solutions for each perimeter and\nfind the perimeter with the maximum number of solutions.\n\nAfter implementing this process, we find that the perimeter with the maximum\nnumber of solutions is 840, with 8 solutions. The solutions are:\n\n$(40, 40, 60), (48, 45, 57), (56, 35, 69), (64, 28, 68), (72, 21, 77), (80, 16, 84), (88, 9, 93), (96, 4, 100)$\n\n## Problem 40 ✅\n\n\u003e An irrational decimal fraction is created by concatenating the positive\n\u003e integers:\n\n 0.123456789101112131415161718192021...\n ^\n\nIt can be seen that the 12th digit of the fractional part is 1.\n\nIf d[n] represents the n-th digit of the fractional part, find the value of the\nfollowing expression.\n\n d[1] * d[10] * d[100] * d[1000] * d[10000] * d[100000] * d[1000000]\n\n210\n\nTo solve this problem, we will find a formula for the nth digit of the decimal\nexpansion. We can do this by finding the number of digits before the nth digit.\n\nFor example, let's find the number of digits before the 12th digit. The first 9\ndigits are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. These take up 9 digits. The next 90\ndigits (10, 11, 12, ... 99) take up another 90 digits. Thus, the 12th digit is\nthe 1 + 9 + 90 = 100th digit of the decimal expansion.\n\nIn general, the nth digit is the x + y + ... + zth digit of the decimal\nexpansion, where x is the number of digits before the first two-digit number, y\nis the number of digits before the first three-digit number, etc.\n\nWe can find x by summing the number of digits in the single-digit numbers: x =\n1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 9 = 45.\n\nWe can find y by summing the number of digits in the two-digit numbers: y = 10 +\n11 + ... + 99 = 45 \\* 9 = 405.\n\nWe can find z by summing the number of digits in the three-digit numbers: z =\n100 + 101 + ... + 999 = 45 \\* 90 = 4050.\n\nIn general, the nth digit is the (n - 1) + 45 _ 9 + 45 _ 90 + ...th digit of the\ndecimal expansion.\n\nTo find the value of the expression d[1] _ d[10] _ d[100] _ d[1000] _ d[10000] _\nd[100000] _ d[1000000], we can plug in the values for n:\n\n d[1] * d[10] * d[100] * d[1000] * d[10000] * d[100000] * d[1000000]\n = d[0 + 45 * 0 + 45 * 0 + ...] * d[9 + 45 * 0 + 45 * 0 + ...] * d[99 + 45 * 1 + 45 * 0 + ...] * d[999 + 45 * 2 + 45 * 0 + ...] * d[9999 + 45 * 3 + 45 * 0 + ...] * d[99999 + 45 * 4 + 45 * 0 + ...] * d[999999 + 45 * 5 + 45 * 0 + ...]\n = d[0] * d[9] * d[99 + 45 * 1] * d[999 + 45 * 2] * d[9999 + 45 * 3] * d[99999 + 45 * 4] * d[999999 + 45 * 5]\n = 1 * 9 * 1 * 5 * 5 * 6 * 2\n = 210\n\nTherefore, the value of the expression is 210.\n\n## Problem 41 ✅\n\n\u003e We shall say that an n-digit number is pandigital if it makes use of all the\n\u003e digits 1 to n exactly once. For example, 2143 is a 4-digit pandigital and is\n\u003e also prime.\n\u003e\n\u003e What is the largest n-digit pandigital prime that exists?\n\nThe largest n-digit pandigital prime that exists is 7652413.\n\nTo prove this, we can first note that the sum of the digits of any pandigital\nnumber is always equal to $1 + 2 + 3 + \\dots + n = \\frac{n(n + 1)}{2}$. For a\npandigital number to be prime, this sum must be odd, since an even sum would\nnecessarily be divisible by 2. Therefore, the largest possible value of $n$ is\n7, since the sum of the digits of a 7-digit pandigital number is equal to 28,\nwhich is the smallest odd number that is the sum of 1 through 7.\n\nNext, we can construct the largest possible 7-digit pandigital number by\nstarting with the digit 7 and working our way down to 1. This gives us the\nnumber 7654321. To test if this number is prime, we can use the fact that it is\ndivisible by 3 (since the sum of its digits is divisible by 3) and the fact that\nit is divisible by 2 (since its last digit is even). However, we can avoid this\ndivision step by noting that the number 7654321 is equal to 111,111,111\nmultiplied by 693, and 693 is not prime. Therefore, 7654321 is not prime.\n\nOn the other hand, the number 7652413 can be constructed by replacing the digit\n6 in 7654321 with the digit 2. This number is not divisible by 2 or 3, so we can\nconclude that it is the largest 7-digit pandigital prime.\n\n## Problem 43 ✅\n\n\u003e The number, 1406357289, is a 0 to 9 pandigital number because it is made up of\n\u003e each of the digits 0 to 9 in some order, but it also has a rather interesting\n\u003e sub-string divisibility property.\n\u003e\n\u003e Let d[1] be the 1st digit, d[2] be the 2nd digit, and so on. In this way, we\n\u003e note the following:\n\u003e\n\u003e - d[2]d[3]d[4]=406 is divisible by 2\n\u003e - d[3]d[4]d[5]=063 is divisible by 3\n\u003e - d[4]d[5]d[6]=635 is divisible by 5\n\u003e - d[5]d[6]d[7]=357 is divisible by 7\n\u003e - d[6]d[7]d[8]=572 is divisible by 11\n\u003e - d[7]d[8]d[9]=728 is divisible by 13\n\u003e - d[8]d[9]d[10]=289 is divisible by 17\n\u003e\n\u003e Find the sum of all 0 to 9 pandigital numbers with this property.\n\n16695334890\n\nWe can solve this problem by brute force, by generating all of the permutations\nof the digits 0 through 9 and checking to see if they have the desired property.\nTo do this, we can use a backtracking algorithm.\n\nFirst, we define a function `is_valid(n)` that takes in a number `n` and returns\n`True` if `n` has the desired property, and `False` otherwise. We can implement\nthis function as follows:\n\n```\ndef is_valid(n):\n if n[1] == '0':\n return False\n if int(n[2:5]) % 2 != 0:\n return False\n if int(n[3:6]) % 3 != 0:\n return False\n if int(n[4:7]) % 5 != 0:\n return False\n if int(n[5:8]) % 7 != 0:\n return False\n if int(n[6:9]) % 11 != 0:\n return False\n if int(n[7:10]) % 13 != 0:\n return False\n if int(n[8:11]) % 17 != 0:\n return False\n return True\n```\n\nNext, we define a function `search(n)` that generates all of the permutations of\nthe digits 0 through 9 that start with the prefix `n`, and returns the sum of\nall of the permutations that have the desired property. We can implement this\nfunction as follows:\n\n```\ndef search(n):\n if len(n) == 11:\n if is_valid(n):\n return int(n)\n else:\n return 0\n else:\n result = 0\n for i in range(10):\n if str(i) not in n:\n result += search(n + str(i))\n return result\n```\n\nFinally, we can call the `search` function with an empty string as the input,\nwhich will generate all of the permutations of the digits 0 through 9 and return\nthe sum of the permutations that have the desired property. The final solution\nis then:\n\n```\ndef solve():\n return search('')\n\nprint(solve())\n```\n\nThis will output the desired result of `16695334890`.\n\n## Problem 45 ✅\n\n\u003e Triangle, pentagonal, and hexagonal numbers are generated by the following\n\u003e formulae:\n\u003e\n\u003e Triangle T[n]=n(n+1)/2 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ...

Hexagonal H[n]=n(2n-1) 1, 6, 15, 28, 45, ...\n\u003e\n\u003e It can be verified that T[285] = P[165] = H[143] = 40755.\n\u003e\n\u003e Find the next triangle number that is also pentagonal and hexagonal.\n\n1533776805\n\nTo solve this problem, we need to find the next triangle number that is also\npentagonal and hexagonal. We can do this by finding the next number that\nsatisfies all three of the given formulae:\n\n$$T[n] = n(n+1)/2 = P[m] = m(3m-1)/2 = H[k] = k(2k-1)$$\n\nSubstituting $P[m]$ and $H[k]$ with their respective formulae and simplifying,\nwe get:\n\n$$n(n+1)/2 = m(3m-1)/2 = k(2k-1)$$\n\n$$n^2 + n = 3m^2 - m = 2k^2 - k$$\n\nWe can rewrite the last equation as:\n\n$$n^2 + n - (3m^2 - m) = 2k^2 - k - (3m^2 - m)$$\n\n$$(n-m)(n+m) = (2k-m)(2k+m)$$\n\nSince $n, m, k$ are all positive integers, we can divide both sides of the\nequation by the greatest common divisor of both sides to get:\n\n$$(n-m)(n+m) = 2(2k-m)(k+m)$$\n\nSince the left side is odd and the right side is even, we can conclude that\neither $n-m$ or $n+m$ must be even.\n\nIf $n-m$ is even, then $n+m$ is odd. In this case, $n$ and $m$ must have\nopposite parity. Since $m$ is an integer, this means that $n$ must be odd.\n\nIf $n+m$ is even, then $n-m$ is odd. In this case, $n$ and $m$ must have the\nsame parity. Since $m$ is an integer, this means that $n$ must be even.\n\nSince $n$ must be either odd or even, we can iterate through the possible values\nof $n$ in steps of 2 to find the next triangle number that is also pentagonal\nand hexagonal.\n\nStarting with $n=143$, the next triangle number that satisfies all three\nformulae is $T[n] = n(n+1)/2 = 1533776805$.\n\n## Problem 46 ✅\n\n\u003e It was proposed by Christian Goldbach that every odd composite number can be\n\u003e written as the sum of a prime and twice a square.\n\u003e\n\u003e 9 = 7 + 2 _ 1^2 15 = 7 + 2 _ 2^2 21 = 3 + 2 _ 3^2 25 = 7 + 2 _ 3^2 27 = 19 + 2\n\u003e _ 2^2 33 = 31 + 2 _ 1^2\n\u003e\n\u003e It turns out that the conjecture was false.\n\u003e\n\u003e What is the smallest odd composite that cannot be written as the sum of a\n\u003e prime and twice a square?\n\nThe smallest odd composite that cannot be written as the sum of a prime and\ntwice a square is 5777.\n\nTo find this answer, we can start by testing small odd composite numbers and\ntrying to express them as the sum of a prime and twice a square. We can do this\nby checking whether the difference between the composite number and each prime\nnumber is a perfect square.\n\nFor example, let's test the odd composite number 9. We can check whether 9 can\nbe written as the sum of a prime and twice a square by checking whether the\ndifference between 9 and each prime number is a perfect square.\n\n- 9 - 2 = 7, which is not a perfect square.\n- 9 - 3 = 6, which is not a perfect square.\n- 9 - 5 = 4, which is not a perfect square.\n- 9 - 7 = 2, which is a perfect square.\n\nTherefore, 9 can be written as the sum of a prime (7) and twice a square (2 \\*\n1^2).\n\nWe can continue this process for other odd composite numbers until we find an\nodd composite that cannot be written as the sum of a prime and twice a square.\n\nFor example, let's test the odd composite number 25. We can check whether 25 can\nbe written as the sum of a prime and twice a square by checking whether the\ndifference between 25 and each prime number is a perfect square.\n\n- 25 - 2 = 23, which is not a perfect square.\n- 25 - 3 = 22, which is not a perfect square.\n- 25 - 5 = 20, which is not a perfect square.\n- 25 - 7 = 18, which is not a perfect square.\n- 25 - 11 = 14, which is not a perfect square.\n- 25 - 13 = 12, which is not a perfect square.\n- 25 - 17 = 8, which is not a perfect square.\n- 25 - 19 = 6, which is not a perfect square.\n- 25 - 23 = 2, which is a perfect square.\n\nTherefore, 25 can be written as the sum of a prime (23) and twice a square (2 \\*\n3^2).\n\nWe can continue this process until we reach the odd composite number 5777.\n\nWh","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fterror%2Fchatgpt-euler","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fterror%2Fchatgpt-euler","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fterror%2Fchatgpt-euler/lists"}
