Problem

Let $S$ be the set of all rational numbers that can be expressed as a repeating decimal in the form $0.\overline{abcd},$ where at least one of the digits $a,$ $b,$ $c,$ or $d$ is nonzero. Let $N$ be the number of distinct numerators obtained when numbers in $S$ are written as fractions in lowest terms. For example, both $4$ and $410$ are counted among the distinct numerators for numbers in $S$ because $0.\overline{3636} = \frac{4}{11}$ and $0.\overline{1230} = \frac{410}{3333}.$ Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000.$

Solution

\[0.abcd=\frac{\overline{abcd}}{9999}\], \[9999=9\times 11\times 101\]. Then we need to find the number of positive integers less than 10000 can meet the requirement. Suppose the number is x. Case 1: (9999, x)=1. Clearly x satisfies. \[\varphi \left( 9999 \right) =9999\times \left( 1-\frac{1}{3} \right) \times \left( 1-\frac{1}{11} \right) \times \left( 1-\frac{1}{101} \right)=6000\] Case 2: 3|x but x is not a multiple of 11 or 101. Then the least value of abcd is 9x, so that \[x\le 1111\], 334 values from 3 to 1110. Case 3: 11|x but x is not a multiple of 3 or 101. Then the least value of abcd is 11x, so that \[x\le 909\], 55 values from 11 to 902. Case 4: 101|x. None. Case 5: 3, 11|x. Then the least value of abcd is 11x, 3 values from 33 to 99. To sum up, it is \[6000+334+55+3=6392\].
