Math Problem Statement

for a three digit number abc, the number of three digit number that satisfy abc(number)=37(a+b+c) is?

Solution

Let abc\text{abc} be a three-digit number, which we can represent as 100a+10b+c100a + 10b + c. According to the problem, this number is equal to 37×(a+b+c)37 \times (a + b + c).

So we have the equation: 100a+10b+c=37(a+b+c)100a + 10b + c = 37(a + b + c)

Expanding the right side, we get: 100a+10b+c=37a+37b+37c100a + 10b + c = 37a + 37b + 37c

Now, rearrange the terms to bring all terms involving aa, bb, and cc to one side: 100a37a+10b37b+c37c=0100a - 37a + 10b - 37b + c - 37c = 0 63a27b36c=063a - 27b - 36c = 0

Dividing the entire equation by 9 for simplicity: 7a3b4c=07a - 3b - 4c = 0

This equation needs to hold for integers aa, bb, and cc, where aa, bb, and cc are digits (0 to 9) and a0a \neq 0 (since it’s a three-digit number). We can now analyze this equation to find valid combinations of aa, bb, and cc that satisfy it.

After finding valid values of aa, bb, and cc that meet the criteria, we can count the solutions.
