let the 5 digit number be x so according to the question, 3(100000 + x) = 10x+1 10x+1 = 3(100000 + x) 10x+1 = 300000 + 3x 10x = 299999 + 3x 7x = 299999 x = 299999/7 x = 42857 so the req. 5 digit number is 42857 we can also check here that 142857 is three times smaller than 428571

We can make an equation: 3(100000 + x) = 10x+1 (Why? Well, adding 100000 puts a 1 at the front of a five-digit number, and multiplying by 10 and adding 1 puts a 1 at the end of a number) Solving this gives: 10x+1 = 3(100000 + x) 10x+1 = 300000 + 3x 10x = 299999 + 3x 7x = 299999 x...
