In summary, three-digit integers are numbers with three digits, ranging from 100 to 999. They can be found by counting up from 100 or using a formula. Rules and patterns for three-digit integers include being divisible by 9 and having a sum of digits that is a multiple of 9. There are 900 three-digit integers in total, with the smallest being 100 and the largest being 999. These are known as the lower and upper bounds for three-digit integers.

Given a three-digit integer $n$ written in its decimal form $\overline{abc}$. Define a function $d(n) := a + b + c + ab + ac + bc + abc$. Find, with proof, all the (three-digit) integers $n$ such that $d(n) = n$.

d = a + b + c + ab + ac + bc + abc
d = a((b+c+bc)+1) + (b+c+bc)

If (b+c+bc)<100
(b+c+bc)+1 = 100 for "a" to be first digit of n.
So (b+c+bc)=99

d = a((b+c+bc)+1) + (b+c+bc)

If (b+c+bc)<100
(b+c+bc)+1 = 100 for "a" to be first digit of n.
So (b+c+bc)=99

This is a problem which is not solved since long. I continue from above

as b and c both are < 10 so b+c + bc <100

now b+c + bc + 1 = 100
or (1+b)(1+c) = 100
so (1+b) = (1+c) = 10 as both <= 10
so b = 9, c = 9
d = 100 a + 99

so a = any digit from 1 to 9 and b = 9 c = 9

numbers are 199 , 299, 399, 499, 599, 699, 799, 899,999
 

Related to Find all three-digit integers.

1. What are three-digit integers?

Three-digit integers are numbers that have three digits, including a hundreds digit, a tens digit, and a ones digit. They range from 100 to 999.

2. How do I find all three-digit integers?

To find all three-digit integers, you can start at 100 and count up to 999. Alternatively, you can use a formula such as 100n + 10m + p, where n, m, and p are any digits from 0 to 9, to generate all possible combinations.

3. Are there any rules or patterns for three-digit integers?

Yes, there are several rules and patterns for three-digit integers. For example, every three-digit integer can be divided by 9. Additionally, the sum of the digits in a three-digit integer is always a multiple of 9.

4. How many three-digit integers are there?

There are 900 three-digit integers in total, ranging from 100 to 999. This can be calculated by subtracting 99 (the number of two-digit integers) from 999.

5. What is the smallest and largest three-digit integer?

The smallest three-digit integer is 100 and the largest is 999. These are known as the lower and upper bounds, respectively, for three-digit integers.
