(9) [Answer: 4]
A number is a multiple of 4 and 6 if and only if it is a multiple of their least common
multiple, 12. There are 8 multiples of 12 between 1 and 100, {12, 24, 36,, 96}, four of
which {24, 48, 72,96} are multiples of 24. Therefore only 8 4 = 4 of them are multiples
of 12 but not of 24.

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180, so their average is 60. Since one of
the angles (56) is 4 less than the average, the other two congruent angles have to be 2
more than the average which means they are 60+2 = 62. Therefore the difference of
the angles is 62 56 = 6.

at least one 2 and one 5, so its enough to find the last digit of 4!+3!+2!, which is 2 (24 +
6 + 2 = 32).

By symmetry, same number of 1s and 2s used in writing the numbers between 1 and 99
inclusive. In 100, we use only one 1 but no 2s. Therefore the digit 1 is used one time
more than the digit 2.

Dividing 3 by 7 we get 0.42857142... The block of digits that repeats is 428571. There
are siz digits in this block. Since 2005 234 6 1 = + , the 2005
th
digit after the decimal
point will be the same as the first digit which is 4.
