NUMBER THEORY

2006-A-3. Let 1, 2, 3, · · · , 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2012, 2016, · · · be a sequence defined by xk = k for
k = 1, 2, · · · , 2006 and for k ≥ 2006. Show that the sequence has 2005 consecutive terms
each divisible by 2006.

2005-A-1. Show that every positive integer is a sum of one or more numbers of the form , where
r and s are nonnegative integers and no summand divides another. (For example, 23 = 9 + 8 + 6.)

2005-B-2. Find all positive integers n, such that and

2005-B-4. For positive integers m and n, let f(m, n) denote the number of n−tuples
of integers such that Show that f(m, n) = f(n,m).

2004-A-1. Basketball star Shanille O’Keal’s team statistician keeps track of the number, S(N), of
successful free throws she has made in her first N attempts of the season. Early in the season, S(N) as
less than 80% of N, but by the end of the season, S(N) was more than 80% of N. Was there necessarily a
moment in between when S(N) was exactly 80% of N?

2004-A-3. Define a sequence and thereafter by the condition that

for all n ≥ 0. Show that un is an integer for all n. (By convention, 0! = 1.)

2004-B-2. Let m and n be positive integers. Show that

2004-B-6. Let A be a non-empty set of positive integers, and let N(x) denote the number of elements
of A not exceeding x. Let B denote the set of positive integers b that can be written in the form b = a − a'
with and . Let be the members of B, listed in increasing order. Show that if the
sequence is unbounded, then

2003-A-1. Let n be a fixed positive integer. How many ways are there to write n as a sum of positive
integers,

with k an arbitrary positive integer, and For example, with n = 4, there are
four ways: 4, 2+2, 1+1+2, 1+1+1+1.

2003-A-6. For a set S of nonnegative integers, let denote the number of ordered pairs (s1, s2)
such that s1 ∈ S, s2 ∈ S, s1 ≠ s2, and s1 + s2 = n. Is it possible to partition the nonnegative integers into
two sets A and B in such a way that for all n?

2003-B-2. Let n be a positive integer. Starting with the sequence   for a new sequence
of n − 1 entries by taking the averages of two consecutive entries in the first sequence.
Repeat the averaging of neighbours on the second sequence to obtain a sequence of n−2 entries and continue
until the final sequence consists of a single number xn. Show that xn < 2/n.

2003-B-3. Show that for each positive integer n,


(Here lcm denotes the least common multiple, and [x] denotes the greatest integer ≤ x.)

2003-B-4. Let where a, b, c, d, e are
integers, a ≠ 0. Show that if r1 + r2 is a rational number, and if   then r1r2 is a rational
number.

2002-A-3. Let n ≥ 2 be an integer and Tn be the number of non-empty subsets S of {1, 2, 3, · · · , n}
with the property that the average of the elements of S is an integer. Prove that Tn − n is always even.

2002-A-5. Define a sequence by , together with the rules for
each integer n ≥ 0. Prove that every positive rational number appears in the set

2002-A-6. Fix an integer b ≥ 2. Let f(1) = 1, and f(2) = 2, and for each n ≥ 3, define f(n) = nf(d),
where d is the number of base−b digits of n. For which values of b does

converge?

2002-B-5. A palindrome in base b is a positive integer whose base−b digits read the same forwards
and backward; for example, 2002 is a 4-digits palindrome in base 10. Note that 200 is not a palindrome in
base 10, but it is the 3-digit palindrome 242 in base 9, and 404 in base 7. Prove that there is an integer
which is a 3-digit palindrome in base b for at least 2002 different values of b.

2001-A-5. Prove that there are unique positive integers a, n such that

2001-B-1. Let n be an even positive integer. Write the numbers 1, 2, · · · , n2 in the squares of an n×n
grid so that the kth row, from right to left is
