In Python: If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5, we get 3, 5, 6 and

9. The sum of these multiples is 23. Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000.

You can solve this problem using a simple loop in Python. Here's the code to find the sum of all the
multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000:

python

sum_multiples = 0

for num in range(1, 1000):

if num % 3 == 0 or num % 5 == 0:

sum_multiples += num

print(sum_multiples)

When you run this code, it will output the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000, which is
233168.

In Python: Each new term in the Fibonacci sequence is generated by adding the

previous two terms. By starting with 1 and 2, the first 10 terms will be:

1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, ...

By considering the terms in the Fibonacci sequence whose values do not

exceed four million, find the sum of the even-valued terms.

You can solve this problem using a loop to generate the Fibonacci sequence and keeping track of the
even-valued terms. Here's the Python code to find the sum of even-valued terms in the Fibonacci
sequence that do not exceed four million:

python

limit = 4000000

sum_even = 0

fib_prev = 1

fib_curr = 2
while fib_curr <= limit:

if fib_curr % 2 == 0:

sum_even += fib_curr

fib_next = fib_prev + fib_curr

fib_prev = fib_curr

fib_curr = fib_next

print(sum_even)

When you run this code, it will output the sum of even-valued terms in the Fibonacci sequence that
do not exceed four million, which is 4613732.

In Python: A palindromic number reads the same both ways. The largest palindrome

made from the product of two 2-digit numbers is 9009 = 91 × 99.

Find the largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit

numbers.

ChatGPT

You can solve this problem by iterating through all possible products of two 3-digit numbers and
checking if the product is a palindrome. Here's the Python code to find the largest palindrome made
from the product of two 3-digit numbers:

python

def is_palindrome(n):

return str(n) == str(n)[::-1]

largest_palindrome = 0

for i in range(100, 1000):

for j in range(100, 1000):

if is_palindrome(product) and product > largest_palindrome:

largest_palindrome = product

print(largest_palindrome)

When you run this code, it will output the largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit
numbers, which is 906609 (which is 913 × 993).

In Python: 2520 is the smallest number that can be divided by each of the numbers

from 1 to 10 without any remainder.

What is the smallest positive number that is evenly divisible by all of the

numbers from 1 to 20?

ChatGPT

This problem involves finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the numbers from 1 to 20.
Python's math module provides a function called gcd (greatest common divisor), which can be used
to calculate the LCM.

Here's the Python code to find the smallest positive number that is evenly divisible by all the
numbers from 1 to 20:

python

import math

def lcm(a, b):

return a * b // math.gcd(a, b)

smallest_multiple = 1
for i in range(1, 21):

smallest_multiple = lcm(smallest_multiple, i)

print(smallest_multiple)

When you run this code, it will output the smallest positive number that is evenly divisible by all the
numbers from 1 to 20, which is 232792560.

In Python: By listing the first six prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, we can see that the 6th prime
is 13.

What is the 10,001st prime number?

ChatGPT

You can use a function to check for prime numbers and keep track of the count until you find the
10,001st prime number. Here's the Python code to find the 10,001st prime number:

python

def is_prime(n):

if n <= 1:

return False

if n <= 3:

return True

if n % 2 == 0 or n % 3 == 0:

return False

i=5

while i * i <= n:

if n % i == 0 or n % (i + 2) == 0:
 return False

i += 6

return True

count = 0

num = 1

while count < 10001:

num += 1

if is_prime(num):

count += 1

print(num)

When you run this code, it will output the 10,001st prime number, which is 104743.

In Python: Starting in the top left corner of a 2×2 grid, and only being able to move to the right and
down, there are exactly 6 routes to the bottom right corner.

How many such routes are there through a 20×20 grid?

ChatGPT

This problem can be solved using combinatorics. For an N × N grid, the number of routes from the
top left corner to the bottom right corner can be calculated using binomial coefficients. Specifically,
it's the central binomial coefficient, also known as the 2Nth binomial coefficient: C(2N, N).

You can calculate it using the formula: C(2N, N) = (2N)! / (N!)^2.

Here's the Python code to calculate the number of routes through a 20×20 grid:

python
import math

def binomial_coefficient(n, k):

return math.factorial(n) // (math.factorial(k) * math.factorial(n - k))

grid_size = 20

num_routes = binomial_coefficient(2 * grid_size, grid_size)

print(num_routes)

When you run this code, it will output the number of routes through a 20×20 grid, which is
137846528820.

In Python: By starting at the top of the triangle below and moving to adjacent

numbers on the row below, the maximum total from top to bottom is 23.

246

8593

That is, 3 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 23.

Find the maximum total from top to bottom in triangle.txt (attached to the email), a 15K text file
containing a triangle with one-hundred rows.

ChatGPT

It seems you want to read a triangle of numbers from a text file and find the maximum total from top
to bottom by moving to adjacent numbers on the row below. Here's how you can achieve that in
Python:

Download the "triangle.txt" file and place it in the same directory as your Python script.
Use the following Python code to read the triangle from the file and find the maximum total:

python

# Read the triangle from the text file

triangle = []

with open("triangle.txt", "r") as file:

for line in file:

triangle.append([int(num) for num in line.strip().split()])

# Starting from the second-to-last row, update each element with the maximum sum path

for row in range(len(triangle) - 2, -1, -1):

for col in range(len(triangle[row])):

triangle[row][col] += max(triangle[row + 1][col], triangle[row + 1][col + 1])

# The top element now contains the maximum total

max_total = triangle[0][0]

print(max_total)

This code reads the "triangle.txt" file, processes the triangle from the bottom up, and calculates the
maximum total. When you run this code, it will output the maximum total from top to bottom in the
triangle.
