More on the last 2 digits of a^k = N 2020-08-07
From Jay:
I've seen solution methods for finding the last 2 digits of a^k = N, where a and k are known. My question is:

What if the number N is known and the last 2 digits are, say, ...62. Is there a way to find, for any given a, the value of k which will result in a number where the last 2 digits are ...62? and if that is possible, then do the same for a number with the last n digits (say 7 or 53 or something)?

The number of digits in a number base m 2011-12-22
From Jash:
Assume there is a number system of base m.

The one property of this system is: If 2 numbers written in this system, which have 'a' and 'b' as the number of digits are multiplied, then the product of the 2 numbers will have a number of digits which is a function f(a,b).

In other words, as long as the number of digits of the 2 numbers are constant, the number of digits of their product is a constant.

Find m.

0123456789 2009-03-25
From Dr.:
Many years ago I discovered that there are 33 numbers which, when multiplied by 0123456789, simply rearrange the digits. Surprisingly (to me at least) is the fact that the digits of all of those 33 numbers add up to one of the 6 "cardinal" numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8. For example 6 + 2 = 8 and 62 X 0123456789 = 7654320918 etc.
Another interesting (to me) fact is that only the cardinal numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 8 rearrange the digits in the number 9876543210.
My question is: "Is this known to anyone but me and the people I have told?"
