Personal CommentL: Oh my! How do you go about solving this?!?

5 Digit Enigma

What we know: There is a 5 digit number. With a 1 after it, it is three times as large as it would be with a one before it.

Enigma: What is the 5 digit number?


Solution: The number with a one after it is 10x + 1. With a 1 before it, it is 100,000 + x. Then 10x +1 = 3(100,000 + x), and x = 42,857. Therefor the 5 digit number is: 42857
