Problem
Find a number of five different and non-zero digits, which is equal to the sum of all the numbers of three different digits that can be formed with five digits of .
~translated into English by Tomas Diaz. ~orders@tomasdiaz.com
Solution
Let or in a better format:
The total number of combinations is given the following way:
For the first digit of any three-digit number we have 5 numbers to chose from.
For the second digit we have 4 numbers to chose from.
For the third digit we have 3 numbers to chose from.
Total numbers of three digit numbers is (5)(4)(3)=60.
Now we need to find their sum.
From all 60 ways, in the first digit we will have each digit of N showing with (4)(3)=12 configurations.
From all 60 ways, in the second digit we will have each digit of N showing with (4)(3)=12 configurations.
From all 60 ways, in the last digit we will have each digit of N showing with (4)(3)=12 configurations.
Therefore the sum, since each digit of is shown in each position 12 times, then
Since , then
Therefore, and
