Problem

Let $m$ be the least positive integer divisible by $17$ whose digits sum to $17$. Find $m$.

Solution 1

The three-digit integers divisible by $17$, and their digit sum: \[\begin{array}{c|c} m & s(m)\\ 102 & 3 \\ 119 & 11\\ 136 & 10\\ 153 & 9\\ 170 & 8\\ 187 & 16\\ 204 & 6\\ 221 & 5\\ 238 & 13\\ 255 & 12\\ 272 & 11\\ 289 & 19\\ 306 & 9\\ 323 & 8\\ 340 & 7\\ 357 & 15\\ 374 & 14\\ 391 & 13\\ 408 & 12\\ 425 & 11\\ 442 & 10\\ 459 & 18\\ 476 & 17 \end{array}\]

Thus the answer is $\boxed{476}$.
