Question Number 121568 by mathocean1 last updated on 09/Nov/20

Given: N in base 10 is  158b687a where b and a are  digits (a<b). Given:  N≡2+a[4].  1) Determinate couples  (a;b) such that 11 divise N.  2) Determinate couples (a;b)  such that 3 and 25 divise N.  thanks.

  1)jf 11 divise N , then N≡0mod(11)  15806870+10000b+a≡0mod(11)  2+b+a≡omod(11)  a+b≡9mod11  (a,b)=(0,9)(1,8)(2,7)...(8,1)(9,0)    2)if N is multiple of 25 , therefore  the last two digits are 00 ,25,50 or 75    as the last two digits of N are 7a , then  a=5    to be multiple of 3 , the sum of the  digits are a multiple too    then  1+5+8+b+6+8+7+5≡0mod3  b+40≡0mod3  b≡2mod3  b=2,5,8    (a,b)=(5,2)(5,5)(5,8)    I hope i′ve helped :)
