Project Euler Problem 38: https://projecteuler.net/problem=38
|
||
|
||
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?
|
||
|
||
Solution:
|
||
Since n>1, the largest candidate for the solution will be a concactenation of
|
||
a 4-digit number and its double, a 5-digit number.
|
||
Let a be the 4-digit number.
|
||
a has 4 digits => 1000 <= a < 10000
|
||
2a has 5 digits => 10000 <= 2a < 100000
|
||
=> 5000 <= a < 10000
|
||
|
||
The concatenation of a with 2a = a * 10^5 + 2a
|
||
so our candidate for a given a is 100002 * a.
|
||
We iterate through the search space 5000 <= a < 10000 in reverse order,
|
||
calculating the candidates for each a and checking if they are 1-9 pandigital.
|
||
|
||
In case there are no 4-digit numbers that satisfy this property, we check
|
||
the 3-digit numbers with a similar formula (the example a=192 gives a lower
|
||
bound on the length of a):
|
||
a has 3 digits, etc...
|
||
=> 100 <= a < 334, candidate = a * 10^6 + 2a * 10^3 + 3a
|
||
= 1002003 * a
