Problem 432

Post by RishadanPort »

Hi

I am sure this has already been answered probably on here somewhere.. but I couldn't find it.

The statment: "Give the last 9 digits of your answer.'

Is it referring to the right most 9 digits of the answer?

That is what I am assuming it is.

Thanks

Can someone confirm the answer for N = 10^8 ends by ...263360 :D

Thanks. Thierry

Hi

I know I'm not suppose to ask for hints... but I only have 1 -- Do I really need to allocate ~12.5 gigabytes to solve this problem, or is there a better way.

Of course there is a better way.

I always get a bit confused when saying "last 9 digits"

Does last 9 digits mean left most digits or right most digits

Thanks

Another way of saying "last 9 digits" would be mod(1,000,000,000).
When you assume something, you risk being wrong half the time.

In most cases yeah, but not always :D
