Pandigital products
Read more: Pandigital productsFrom the Project Euler Problem 32: We shall say that an n-digit number is pandigital if it makes use of all the digits 1 to n exactly once; for example, the 5-digit number, 15234, is 1 through 5 pandigital. The product 7254 is unusual, as the identity, 39 × 186 = 7254, containing multiplicand, multiplier,…

Coin sums
Read more: Coin sumsFrom the Project Euler Problem 31: In England the currency is made up of pound, £, and pence, p, and there are eight coins in general circulation: 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 (100p) and £2 (200p). It is possible to make £2 in the following way: 1×£1 + 1×50p + 2×20p + 1×5p…

Quadratic primes
Read more: Quadratic primesFrom the Project Euler Problem 27: Euler discovered the remarkable quadratic formula: n² + n + 41 It turns out that the formula will produce 40 primes for the consecutive values n = 0 to 39. However, when n = 40, 40² + 40 + 41 = 40(40 + 1) + 41 is divisible by…
