Question 430331: find all the positive integers 'x' which when expressed in decimal notation have both of the folloing properties
a)the firs (left-most) digit is 6
b) when this digit is removed, the remaining integer is x/25

Suppose our n-digit integer is . Then,

(multiply both sides by 25)

This simply looks for the (n-1)-digit numbers whose decimal representation is 25000...0. This means that the "remaining" number can be 25, 250, 2500, ... We put the 6 in front, so all integers 625, 6250, 62500, ... satisfy.
