Question 918810: I am a number between 1 and 100 000 000
I have eight digits, and no digits are repeated
The digit in the thousands place is one-half the digit in the millions place and twice the digit in the tens place
The digit in the tens place is 1
The digit in the ten thousands place is one less than the digit in the tens place
There are 3 ten millions in the answer
The digit in the hundred thousands is twice the number of ten millions
If you add the number of ten millions and the millions, you will get the digit in the hundreds place.
The ones digit is two less than the hundreds digit.
So Far I have this
3 __ 60 __ __ 1 ___
Am I supposed to make random guesses until I get it right?

I am a number between 1 and 100 000 000
I have eight digits, and no digits are repeated
The digit in the thousands place is one-half the digit in the millions place and twice the digit in the tens place
The digit in the tens place is 1
The digit in the ten thousands place is one less than the digit in the tens place
There are 3 ten millions in the answer
The digit in the hundred thousands is twice the number of ten millions
If you add the number of ten millions and the millions, you will get the digit in the hundreds place.
The ones digit is two less than the hundreds digit.

Am I supposed to make random guesses until I get it right?

You can make random guesses, but that would take forever and it may not be correct. This is why CLUES
are given to allow one to get the required answer. Each clue is followed, as seen below to determine
the correct 8-digit number.
Having 8 digits means that it has a tens-of-millions digit, all the way down to a units digit, OR
_ _,_ _ _,_ _ _
Let T be the thousands digit
Then, 2T is the millions digit
%281%2F2%29T, or T%2F2 is the tens digit
Now, since 1 is the tens digit, then we can say that: T%2F2+=+1
T, or thousands digit = 2 ------ Cross-multiplying
This means that the millions digit = 2T, or 2(2), or 4
We now have:
_4,_ _2,_1_
Since the ten thousands digit is 1 less than the tens digit, then the ten thousands digit = 1 – 1, or 0
We now have:
_4,_02,_1_
With 3 tens millions, we now have:
34,_02,_1_
Since the hundred thousands digit is twice the ten millions digit, then the hundred thousands digit = 2(3), or 6
We now have:
34,602,_1_
Since the sum of the ten millions and millions digits, equals the hundreds digit, then the hundreds digit = 7 (3 + 4)
We now have:
34,602,71_
Since the ones digit is two less than the hundreds digit, then the ones or units digit is: 7 – 2, or 5
We now have the number as: 34,602,715
