Problem 52 Project Euler Solution with python

Permuted multiples

It can be seen that the number, 125874, and its double, 251748, contain exactly the same digits, but in a different order.
Find the smallest positive integer, x, such that 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, and 6x, contain the same digits.


This problem is straight forward and there is no big algorithm that I have used. I have used a series of if statements to get the solution. The only thing I want to mention is that, we will start with checking if all the digits of the multiple of 6(i*6) are present in the given number(i). Then 5(i*5), 4(i*4), 3(i*3), 2(i*2). Using 6 will reduce the number of iterations and thus reduces the execution time.

I will not explain the program, I have left that part for you to understand because it is not very complicated. Remember that I have added the links to the inbuilt functions used in the program.

Program

time module
str function
set in python
As always you can download the source code from Github Gist pep52.py

Output

Summary

I think this problem has been designed to make us use the while loop. This is a very basic problem. You can also find a solution in mathematical point of view, to improve the performance of the code. Anyways I have used a direct and simple approach to solve this problem and also the execution time is pretty satisfactory. 

As always you can comment in the comment box below, if you have any doubt or haven't understood anything. I will be very happy to help you.

Please do comment in the comment box below if you have found any typo or have a better program or have a different solution or have a suggestion. I will be glad to see each of them.

You can also contact me.

Thank you. Have a nice day😃!

Project Euler Problem 67 Solution with Python

Maximum path sum II 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. 3 7 4 2 4 6 8 5 9 3 That is, 3 + 7 + 4 + 9 = 23. Find the maximum total from top to bottom in triangle.txt (right click and 'Save Link/Target As...'), a 15K text file containing a triangle with one-hundred rows.

Problem 43 Project Euler Solution with python

Sub-string divisibility The number, 1406357289, is a 0 to 9 pandigital number because it is made up of each of the digits 0 to 9 in some order, but it also has a rather interesting sub-string divisibility property. Let d 1 be the 1 st digit, d 2 be the 2 nd digit, and so on. In this way, we note the following: d 2 d 3 d 4 =406 is divisible by 2 d 3 d 4 d 5 =063 is divisible by 3 d 4 d 5 d 6 =635 is divisible by 5 d 5 d 6 d 7 =357 is divisible by 7 d 6 d 7 d 8 =572 is divisible by 11 d 7 d 8 d 9 =728 is divisible by 13 d 8 d 9 d 10 =289 is divisible by 17 Find the sum of all 0 to 9 pandigital numbers with this property. One might write a simple solution using direct if else statements for this problem. Using if else statements, the execution time may be a few seconds. But this is not a very good approach. I too had written a program with if else statement which will take each and every permutation of the 0-9 Pandigital and check for the conditions given in the qu...

Add/Embed SVG to Blogger website

In this post I will tell you my method(trick) of adding SVG images in a blogger website or blog. Before starting , the first thin g I am assu m ing is that you are aware of SVG if you are here. If not please see S calable V ec tor G raphics Recently when I tried to embed a SVG image for a post on pygal, I tried uploading the SVG file and blogger Image uploader came up with an error, because of which I had to find some other way.  SVG File upload Error in Blogger  I started sea rc hing Google " Embed SVG in Blogger " . I found blogorrhea , w h ich gave some i nformatio n on add ing SVG directly as a markup , which worked , but I faced another problem using this . Also th is guy has used lot of Javascript which was confusin g for me, being new to using SVG.   So I first t houg ht of learning on h ow to embed SVG in HTML and t his on e worked out. Actually we can embed SVG in HTML i n following ways: Using Object tag Using Iframe tag Using embed...
