Problem 5 @ projecteuler
Completed on: Thu, 4 Jul 2019, 22:30
Here I am quoting form ProjectEuler site:”
2520 is the smallest number that can be divided by each of the numbers from 1 to 10 without any remainder. What is the smallest positive number that is evenly divisible by all of the numbers from 1 to 20?”
So to solve this simple task all we need to loop through numbers and divide it by a list of (1,20) if yes return True otherwise return False and got to another number.
and so we done..

Problem No.63 @ ProjectEuler
Completed on: Completed on Thu, 11 Jul 2019, 17:21
Just to make my post simple, i am quoting from ProjectEuler page
The 5-digit number, 16807=75, is also a fifth power. Similarly, the 9-digit number, 134217728=89, is a ninth power.
How many n-digit positive integers exist which are also an nth power?
Then, we need to find the loop that will solve this, and we did..

Problem No.44 on ProjectEuler
Completed on: Thu, 11 Jul 2019, 18:37
This problem talking about the Pentagonal numbers and gives us a formula. Using that formula for a certain range of numbers, the generated sequence showing that P4 + P7 = 22 + 70 = 92, 92 is the P8, but if we subtracting (P7 – P4) = 70 – 22 = 48, 48 is not in the generated sequence of pentagonal numbers, so 48 is not pentagonal.
The task here is to find the pair of pentagonal Pj,Pk which their sum and difference are Pentagonal D = Pk – Pj is minimised.(we need to get the D).

Problem No.4 @ Projecteuler
Complete on: on Fri, 5 Jul 2019, 08:53
The task was to find the largest palindromic number that been generated from multiplying two of 3 digits number.
Definition: Palindromic numbers are numbers that remains the same when its digits are reversed. Like 16461, we may say they are “symmetrical”.wikipedia.org
To solve this I first wrote a function to check if we can read a number from both side or not, Then using while and for loop through numbers 100 to 999, and store largest palindromic, we select the range (100,999) because the task is about tow number each with 3 digits.

Problem 17, Projecteuler
For problem 17, projectEuler ask for the total numbers of alphabetics in all words of numbers from 1 to 1000.
Here I am coping from there page.
Once I read the task, I decide to create my own version of the requirement. I start to assume that I may have a dictionary with some numbers and words, then base on what ever the user will input (number between 1 and 999) then I shall convert it to words.
Example:
1 –> one
8 –> eight
234 –> tow hundred thirty-four .. and so on.
I start searching the net to get the words I need, and store them in 3 dictionaries.
num_1_9 = {“1″:”one”,”2″:”two” .. ext.
num_10s = {“10″:”ten”,”20″:”twenty” .. ext.
num_11s = {“11″:”eleven”,”12″:”twelve”.. ext
Then, I start writing the functions for each group of numbers/dictionaries, so if the user enter a number we will read number of digits if it is 1 then we call def num_1_d(), if it is 2 digits we call def num_2_ds() and if it is 3 digits we call num_3_ds(). At the end, we got the right answer for Projecteuler, and here is the code in my way, I am asking the user to enter a number then i convert it to a corresponding words.

Python: Largest Prime Factor
Python: Largest Prime Factor
Problem No.3 on ProjectEuler
Quite easy one to solve, in this task we need to get all the factors of a given number, then to print out the largest prime one.
![]() |
To solve this with a Large Number I search the net and i fond an article explain it. So here i am putting it in points.
Factors of Large Numbers:
1. First ask if the number N is (Even or Odd)?
2. If the number N is Even, then factors=(2) then, the new N = N Divide by 2.
3. If the number N is Ood, then start form 3 and get/find smallest prime factors (SPF) of it.
4. Add the smallest prime factors to factors list.
5. Then, the new N = N Divide by smallest prime factors (SPF).
6. If the new N is Even goto line 2, If the new N is Odd goto line 3.
The Code:
# Largest prime factor

Python: Digit Factorial Chains
Python: Digit factorial Chains
Problem No.74 @ ProjectEuler
In this task, we need to produce a chain of the summation of a factorial number and keep chasing each number in the chain until it starts repeat, we stop there and count the length of the chain, if its 60 then we increase a counter. ProjectEuler task 74 ask to do this and get all the numbers (How many are they?) below one Million (1000000) that has 60 numbers in it’s chain.
So we start to write two functions, one to get the factorial of a number, and the other to get the summation of the numbers in a list. Then with two (while) loop, an outer one to count the 60’s chain numbers, and an inner one to produce the chains.
At the end we manage to solve the problem 74 using Pythonanywhere.

Another easy fast 5-minites task on projecteuler that Playing around Fibonacci Numbers, the task is to find the first Fibonacci index to contain 1000 digits.
So we will write a function to get the fibonacci numbers and each time we will check if it’s digits reach 1000, if not we will go for generating the next number.

ProjectEuler Problem No.29
In this project we have a sequance of numbers based on a powered number, it takes ten minites or less to write the code, test it and applay the needed figures to solve the problem. Thie code can be shorten, but I am using the classic way to write functions with comments on code.
Here is the Problem as on the ProjectEuler Portal:
Consider all integer combinations of ab for 2 ≤ a ≤ 5 and 2 ≤ b ≤ 5:22=4, 23=8, 24=16, 25=32
32=9, 33=27, 34=81, 35=243
42=16, 43=64, 44=256, 45=1024
52=25, 53=125, 54=625, 55=3125
If they are then placed in numerical order, with any repeats removed, we get the following sequence of 15 distinct terms:4, 8, 9, 16, 25, 27, 32, 64, 81, 125, 243, 256, 625, 1024, 3125
How many distinct terms are in the sequence generated by ab for 2 ≤ a ≤ 100 and 2 ≤ b ≤ 100?
