Let ABC be a 3-digit number such that its digits A, B, and C form
an arithmetic sequence. The largest integer that divides all numbers of
the form ABCABC is ______ ?
some of the problems i posted are of course related in the class... i have some problems that i couldn't solve that is why i need help from here... some problems i can solve is of course not posted here because i know how. Only those i can hardly solve... i thought the more problems posted the better. im sorry sir if i have misconstrued something in here.
thanks a lot. God Bless
We are not here to do your homework, assignments, take-out exams or provide solutions for a solutions manual for you despite what some posters here may seem to think.
If instead we work with , .
So the greatest common factor of numbers of the type being considered is one of .
So Now try , , combining this with the previous result tells us the greatest common factor is one of and .
To complete the solution it is sufficient to decide if a number of the form with being in arithmetic progressions (and single digit numbers) is always divisible by . So what rules do you know for testing divisibility by ?
