Arithmetic
E.8326
A
non-zero
natural
number
is
a
Harshad
number
if
it
is
divisible
by
the
sum
of
its
digits.
For
example,
n
=24
is
a
Harshad
number
because
the
sum
of
its
digits
is
2+4=6
,
and
24
is
indeed
divisible
by
6
.

Let

What
can
we
conjecture?
E.8337
An
integer
is
said
to
be
digisible
when
the
following
three
conditions
are
verified
:
none
of
its
numbers
is
zero;
it
is
written
with
all
different
digits
;
it
is
divisible
by
each
of
them.
For
example,
24
is
digisible
because
it
is
divisible
by
2
and
by
4
.
324
is
digisible
because
it
is
divisible
by
3
,
by
2
and
by
4
.
32
is
not
digisible
because
it
is
not
divisible
by
3
.
Recall
that
an
integer
is
divisible
by
3
if,
and
only
if,
the
sum
of
its
digits
is
divisible
by
3
.
1
Suggest
another
number
digisible
with
two
digits.
2
a
Give
all
single-digit
factors
of
the
number
1000
.
b
Deduce
a
four-digit
digisible
number.
3
Let
n
be
an
integer
digisible
written
with
a
5
.
a
Demonstrate
that
5
is
the
digit
of
its
units.
b
Demonstrate
that
all
the
digits
of
n
are
odd.
E.8332
We
start
with
a
strictly
positive
integer
n
:
If
n
is
even,
we
transform
it
into
n
2
If
n
is
odd
(
n>
1
)
,
we
turn
it
into
3
n
+1
.
If
n
=1
,
we
stop.
Examples
:
If
n
=6
,
we
get
the
sequence
:
6
↦−→
3
↦−→
10
↦−→
5
↦−→
16
↦−→
8
↦−→
4
↦−→
2
↦−→
1
If
n
=13
,
we
get
the
sequence
:
13
↦→
40
↦→
20
↦→
10
↦→
5
↦→
16
↦→
8
↦→
4
↦→
2
↦→
1
It
has
been
observed
using
a
computer
program,
that
for
ev-ery
integer
tested,
the
sequence
always
results
in
1
.
But
this
result
has
not
yet
been
demonstrated.
We
can
also
be
interested
in
the
length
of
this
sequence,
which
we’ll
denote
L
(
n
)
.
For
example:
L
(6)=9
and
L
(13)=10
.
1
Determine
L
(
n
)
for
integers
from
1
to
12
.
2
Let
p
be
an
integer,
consider
the
integer
n
=2
p
.
Express
L
(
n
)
as
a
function
of
p
.
3
Find
an
integer
n
between
2
2008
and
2
2009
such
that
:
L
(
n
)=2012
.
Hint
:
We
could
look
for
a
number
of
the
form
2
p
×
q
.

The
metal
workshop
of
a
shipyard
cuts
parts
of
various
shapes
from
square
steel
plates
that
it
orders
from
the
rolling
mill.
To
limit
material
losses
and
therefore
production
costs,
the
shop
foreman
must
determine
in

the
size
of
the
square
plates
he

to
order
according

cut.
For
some

only
the

of
the

to
be
cut
are
transmitted
to
them.
In
each
of
the
following
three
parts,
the
cutting
of
certain
types
of
parts
is
studied.
These

can
be
treated
independently

In

Creating
a
cornet
by
folding
Using
an
A4
sheet
of
paper,
create
a
cornet
by
successive
cut-ting
and
folding.
Here’s
the
protocol
for
constructing
this
cornet,
illustrated
in
the
figure
below
:
Step
1:
cut
out
a
square
ABA
C
side
21
cm
from
the
A4
sheet
of
paper.
Step
2:
fold
this
square
according
to
(
BC
)
to
obtain
an
isosceles
right-angled
triangle
verifying:
AB
=
AC
=21
cm
Step
3:
place
the
vertex
B
on
a
point
D
of
the
segment
[
AB
]
such
that,
after
folding,
the
line
(
DE
)
is
parallel
to
the
line
(
BC
)
.
Step
4:
perform
a
similar
procedure
starting
from
vertex
B
.
Step
5:
fold
the
two
top
triangles,
one
in
front,
one
behind.
When
we
measure
AD
,
we
get
8.7
cm
(rounded
to
the
nearest
mm
)
.
What
is
the
exact
value
of
the
distance
AD
?
Part
B
-
Making
a
particular
triangle
y
Using
a
sheet
of
A4
paper,
we
now
need
to
make
a
particular
triangle
by
successive
folds.
This
sheet
is
modeled
by
a
rectangle
ABCD
.
E
and
F
denote
the
middles
of
segments
[
AD
]
and
[
BC
]
.
respectively
Here’s
the
protocol
for
constructing
this
triangle
illustrated
in
the
figure
below.
The
rectangle
in
the
following
figure
corresponds
to
the
un-folded
A4
sheet
after
the
triangle
has
been
constructed.
We
wish
to
determine
the
nature
of
the
triangle
thus
constructed.

An

sees
a

the
height
of
which

h
above

(as
shown

Due

the
ship
disappears
completely
from
the

once
it
is
d

away
from

as

We
ignore
the

so
that

We
assume
that
the

known.
We

that

We
assume
y
=4
.
Can
the
area
of
the
square
AEFI
be
equal

Let
K
be
the
foot
of
the
height
from
A
of
the
triangle
ABC
.
We
pose
AK
=
h
.
We
therefore
have
the
following
figure
:
a
Justify
that
:
(
x
+
y
)
2
=
z

+2
·
z
·
h
.
b
Similarly
express
(
x
−
y
)
2
as
a
function
of
z
and
h
.
Show
that
h
is
less
than
half
of
z
.
c
Is
it
possible
that
:
z
=10
and
h
=4.8
?
If
yes,
determine
the
values
of
x
and
y
.

Compare
the
area
of
the
triangle
ABC
to
the
area
of
the
shaded
surface.
