Q:

5 Digits Number?

What 5-digit number has the following features:

If we put the numeral 1 at the beginning, we get a number three times smaller than if we put the numeral 1 at the end of the number.

Answer

We can make an equation:


3(100000 + x) = 10x+1


(Why? Well, adding 100000 puts a 1 at the front of a five-digit number, and multiplying by 10 and adding 1 puts a 1 at the end of a number)


Solving this gives:


10x+1 = 3(100000 + x)
10x+1 = 300000 + 3x
10x = 299999 + 3x
7x = 299999
x = 299999/7 = 42857


The answer is 42857 (142857 is three times smaller than 428571).
