Problem Solving
1-
Take the number 192 and multiply it by each of 1, 2, and 3:
192 1 = 192
192 2 = 384
192 3 = 576
By concatenating each product we get the 1 to 9 pandigital, 192384576. We will call 192384576 the concatenated product of 192 and (1,2,3)
The same can be achieved by starting with 9 and multiplying by 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, giving the pandigital, 918273645, which is the concatenated product of 9 and (1,2,3,4,5).
What is the largest 1 to 9 pandigital 9-digit number that can be formed as the concatenated product of an integer with (1,2, ... , n) where n 1?

The first two consecutive numbers to have two distinct prime factors are:
14 = 2 7
15 = 3 5
The first three consecutive numbers to have three distinct prime factors are:
644 = 2² 7 23
645 = 3 5 43
646 = 2 17 19.
Find the first four consecutive integers to have four distinct primes factors. What is the first of these numbers?

The series, 11 + 22 + 33 + ... + 1010 = 10405071317.
Find the last ten digits of the series, 11 + 22 + 33 + ... + 10001000.

There are exactly ten ways of selecting three from five, 12345:
123, 124, 125, 134, 135, 145, 234, 235, 245, and 345
In combinatorics, we use the notation, 5C3 = 10.
In general,
nCr =
n!
r!(nr)!
,where r n, n! = n(n1)...321, and 0! = 1.
It is not until n = 23, that a value exceeds one-million: 23C10 = 1144066.
How many, not necessarily distinct, values of nCr, for 1 n 100, are greater than one-million?
5-
A googol (10100) is a massive number: one followed by one-hundred zeros; 100100 is almost unimaginably large: one followed by two-hundred zeros. Despite their size, the sum of the digits in each number is only 1.
Considering natural numbers of the form, ab, where a, b 100, what is the maximum digital sum?
