Question 431642: PROBLEM 1:
A two digit number with 2 different digits has a special property: "When the sum of its digits is added to the product of its digits, the result is the number itself." What is the smallest number with this property?
PROBLEM 2:
Six is a perfect number because its factors ( not including 6)add up to itself. What are all the perfect numbers between 20 and 30?

A two digit number with 2 different digits has a special property:
"When the sum of its digits is added to the product of its digits, the result is the number itself."
What is the smallest number with this property?
:
x = 10's digit
y = units
then
10x+y = the number
:
x + y + xy = 10x + y
xy = 10x - x + y - y
xy = 9x
y = %289x%29%2Fx
y = 9 is the units
then
19 is the smallest number with this property.
:
See if that is true
1 + 9 + (1*9) = 10(1) + 9

28: 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14

1. Suppose the number is 10a+%2B+b, where a+%3C%3E+b. Then, a+%2B+b+%2B+ab+=+10a+%2B+b --> a+%2B+ab+=+10a --> 1+%2B+b+=+10, b = 9. We can assume a to be as small as possible, so 19 is the smallest such number.

2. 28, because the sum of its proper divisors is 1+2+4+7+14 = 28. In fact, all even perfect numbers are in the form %282%5E%28n-1%29%29%282%5En+-+1%29 where 2%5En+-+1 is prime. This is because the sum of divisors function is a multiplicative function for relatively prime integers. When n+=+3, 2%5E3+-+1+=+7, prime, so %282%5E2%29%282%5E3+-+1%29+=+28, a perfect number.
