A math trick |
2007-12-10 |
|
Megan pose la question : I need to write a mathematical explanation of why this works!
Start with a four digit number. (a positive integer, and all digits can NOT be the same. At least one must be different)
Rearrange that four digit number.
Subtract the smaller 4-digit number from the larger.
Now circel one digit. (canNOT be zero, because that is already a circle)
Now re-write that number excluding the circled digit.
Compute the sum of the digits.
Now write down the next multiple of 9 that is larger than the sum.
Subtract the Sum from the multiple. (multiple - sum of digits)
Report Difference = to number circled.
The resulting number should be the number that originally circled. Penny Nom lui répond. |
