1 Solutions to Exercises on Page 86 #. A number is a multiple of, 4, 5 and 6 if and only if it is a multiple of the greatest common multiple of, 4, 5 and 6. The greatest common multiple of, 4, 5 and 6 is Between 000 and 9000 there are =7999 integers (excluding 000 and 9000). 7999/60= with a fractional part. From 00 to 8999 there are multiples of 60 because both 00 and 8999 are not multiples of 60 and multiples of 60 are evenly distributed in the sequence with a distance of 60. Answer: #. From 8 am to 5 pm there are 9 hours. There are 6 5-minutes intervals. Because both the two endpoints count, 7 ferries left yesterday. Answer: 7. # =40, 5+89=40,, 69+7=40. The numbers from 50 to 90 other than 70 can be paired so that only one of each pair can be included in the set. There are 0 such pairs. 70, 9, 9,, 00 can be freely included in the set without violating the condition. The maximum such set will have 0++0= elements. Answer:. # =0+49= =4+6=450. The numbers from 00 to 50 other than 5 can be paired so that only one of each pair can be included in the set. There are 5 such pairs. 5, 5, 5,, 00 can be freely included in the set without violating the condition. The maximum such set will have 5++50=76 elements. Answer: 76. # The number of factors is 9. Answer: 9 # Even factors of 80 must be in the form a b c 5 with a = or, b =0, or, c=0 or. The number of even factors is. We can also count the number of odd factors first. The odd factors must be factors of 5. Answer: #7. We will understand that divisors are the same as factors. We will just count the odd part of 0!. From to 0, there are multiples of ; there are multiple of. There are multiples of 5 and there is multiple of 7. So the odd part of 4 4 the factorization of 0! is 5 7. The number of factors of 5 7 is 5 0. Answer: 0 #8. There are 40 multiples of 5 in the first 0 positive integers and half of 04,Huasong Yin

2 them are odd. So there are 0 multiples of 5 in the sequence,, 5,, 0. 0/5=80+. There are 80 multiples of 5 in the first 0 positive integers and half of them are odd. So there are 40 multiples of 5 in the sequence,, 5,, 0. 0/5=6+. There are 6 multiples of 5 in the first 0 positive integers and half of them are odd. So there are 8 multiples of 5 in the sequence,, 5,, 0. 0/65=+. There are multiples of 4 5 in the first 0 positive integers and only one of them is even. So there are multiples of 4 5 in the sequence,, 5,, 0. n Answer: 5. #9. There are multiples of from, to of them are even. So there are 7 multiples of in the sequence,, 5,, 99.

It is easier to count the numbers that do not contain digit. The first digit has choices; the second digit has 9 choices: the third digit has 9 choices also. By the product rule for counting, there are 9 6 numbers from 00 to 99

3 that do not contain digit. Excluding 00, there are 6. There are 99 total from 0 to =8. Answer: 8 #. In the row, we cannot have three consecutive seats empty. In each end, we cannot have two consecutive seats empty. To optimize, we assume that each end has seat empty. From left to right, counting from the second seat, assume that the seating is one occupied followed by two empty seats. 96/=. We can arrange occupied seats so that the next person will seat to someone. (This is equivalent to put the 96 seats in a circle!). Answer:. #. If the three binomials are mx n y, mx n y and mx ny, then m m m 5 and n n n 7. Assume that m m m. The solutions for m, m, ) are (,,), (,,). ( m The solutions for n, n, ) are (,,5), (,,4), (,,), (,,) if the three ( n number are in order. We will count by case: ( m m, m, ) n, n, ) ( n Explanation: m m m, and permutate n, n, ) ( n Count (,,) (,,5) 5 can be any position (,,4)! permutations 6 (,,) (,,) (,,) 4 similar cases as above. similar The total number of count is 6 0. Answer: 0 #4. To maximize the number of intersection points, we can arrange the triangle to intersect a circle in 6 points. Move the circle slightly we get a distinct congruent circle that will intersect the triangle also in 6 points and it will intersect the original circle in two points. Total is 4. Two distinct circles cannot intersect at more than points. So 4 is the maximum number of intersection points. Answer: 4. #5. Prime digits are,, 5 and 7. An integer is divisible by 9 if the sum of digits is divisible by 9. 04,Huasong Yin

4 If the integer has only two digits, there are only two such integers: 7 and 7. If the integer has three digits, the sum of the digits can only be 9 or 8. If the three digits are the same, the integer is. If the three digits are different, there is no solution because ++5+7=7, 7-8=, 7-9=8 and both and 8 are not prime digits. If only two digits are the same, we find (,,5) only. This will give integers. So there are 4 solutions for -digit integers. If the integer has four digits, the sum of the digits can only be 9, 8 or 7. The four digits cannot be the same and they cannot be distinct. If three of them are the same, then the sum of the digits is a+b, b must be and a can be and 5. We get 8 solutions. If only two digits are the same, we get (,,7,7). This will give us C 6 solutions. Total in the four-digit case is 8+6= =0. Answer: 0. #6. Case : one digit. There are such numbers: and 9. Case : two digits. If the first digit a=, 5, 9, a, a, a5, a7, a9 have exactly multiples of. If the first digit a=, 7, a, a, a5, a7, a9 have exactly multiple of. The total count in this case is 6+=8. Case : three digits. (a): If the first digit a= or 9, there are 8 6 solutions by case. (b): If the first digit is or 7, the sum of the last two digits must be b+c=, 8, 4 (sum is even). The solutions for (b, c) are (,), (7,7), (,7), (,5), (5,9) in order. Consider different ordering, there are 8 ordered pairs for (b, c). 8=6. (c): If the first digit is 5, the sum of the last two digits must be b+c=4, 0, 6. The solutions are (5,5), (,), (,9), (,7), (7,9) in order. There are 9 ordered pairs for (b,c). There are 6+6+9=4 solutions in the three-digit case. +8+4=5.
