How many 6-digit integers have the following properties:
1 - That the sum total of their digits = 23
2 - That they be multiples of 23, or divisible by 23.
3 - That all their 6 digits be different from each other, or no repeats allowed.
Thank you for any help.

\(1)\\ \text{The first digit can take values 1-9, the other 5 can take values 0-9}\\ \text{Noting that $\sum \limits_{k=0}^{n} = \dfrac{1-x^{n+1}}{1-x}$ we have}\\ \text{the generating function for the first digit is }\\ d_1(x) = \sum \limits_{k=1}^9 x^k = x \dfrac{1-x^9}{1-x}\\ \text{and for the rest of the digits it is}\\ d(x) = \dfrac{1-x^{10}}{1-x}\)

 

\(\text{We want the coefficient of $x^{23}$ in $d_1(x)(d(x))^5$}\\ \text{Using software I find that }\\ c_{23} = 41712\)

3)

9 choices for the 1st digit, 9 for the 2nd, then 8 7 6 5

 

9 * 9!/4! = 136080

2) 

 

999993 = 23 * 43478

100004 = 23 * 4348

 

43478 - 4348 + 1 = 39131

Rom: I get a completely different answer, way way smaller than yours! Here is the code:

 

n=0;p=0;cycle:a(100000+n);b=int(a/100000);c=int(a/10000)%10;d=int(a/1000)%10;e=int(a/100)%10;f=int(a/10)%10;g=a%10;n=n+1;if(b+c+d+e+f+g==23 and a%23==0 and b!=c and b!=d and b!=e and b!=f and b!=g and c!=d and c!=e and c!=f and c!=g and d!=e and d!=f and d!=g and e!=f and e!=g and f!=g, goto loop,goto cycle);loop:p=p+1;printa," ",;if(n<=882031, goto cycle, 0);print"Total = ",p

 

1 - They all sum up to 23. Are multiples of 23. And all 6 digits different from each other.

They total = 352. They begin with: 102695  104765  104972  105386  106835  107249  107456.......and end in 

946013  951602  952016  952430  963401  981203  982031  Total =  352

I have just been playing with the numbers. I do not know how to do this.

But these are the possible combinations of 6 digits that add up to 23.

0 1 2 3 8 9

0 1 2 4 7 9

0 1 2 5 6 9 

0 1 3 4 6 9 

0 2 3 4 5 9

0 1 2 5 7 8

0 1 3 4 7 8

0 1 3 5 6 8

0 2 3 4 6 8

1 2 3 4 5 8

1 2 3 4 6 7     (added on)

0 2 3 5 6 7 

0 1 4 5 6 7 

 

So that is 12 groups of 6 digits.

Now it canot begin with 0 becasue that would not be a proper number.

The digits add to 23 so none of these will be divisable by 3 or 6 or 9.  I am not sure what that means, I am getting in a mess.

So I have a lot  LESS than

5*5!*11+6! =6600+720 = 7320 ways   

plus another  720 =  8050 

352 ways certainly sounds possible

 

Edit

oh dear, I just realize that 1 2 3 4 6 7 is missing.    I wonder how many others are missing.  I think not many, hopefully none.

Notice that each number must meet 3 conditions:

That its 6 digits add up to 23, and must be divisible by 23, and all 6 digits different from each other. 123467 is NOT divisible by 23. 123467 mod 23 = 3.

I know 0123467 is not divisable by 23.

Its digits do however add to a 23.  Maybe if those digits are rearranged then you will get a number that IS divisable by 23.

 

I have found 13 sets of 6 numbers.  Each set comply with the first and 3rd conditions.

0123467 is one of those sets.

Now it is a matter or rearranging the digits  in each set to work out which permutations of digits will give a number divisable by 23.

Melody: I have the entire list. If you want it, I will print it.

Thanks,

It doesn't really matter, I was trying to work out how to get them without a computer program.

Can you print them in groups so that the ones with the same digits are together?

Do you know if you got 13 combinations of 6 digits?

The computer automatically arranges them in numerical order. Here is the list:

I checked the answer via Mathematica as usual doing

 

Select[Range[100000, 999999], 
  Plus @@ IntegerDigits[#] == 23 &] // Length

 

This selects all integers in the range 100000-999999

whose sum of digits equals 23 and then counts the length of that list.

 

It returns 41712

As I said before I didn't consider this a single problem.

 

When we apply all 3 conditions yes the answer is 352

I'm going to have to give some thought (or not) about how to derive that number w/o software.
