Problem 1 Project Euler solution with python

Multiples of 3 and 5

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.

First I have written my program for number up to 10. This ensures me that if anything goes wrong at this stage I can sort it out.
Also I have commented each and every part of the program which makes it easy even for beginners to understand the program.
I think at this stage you might want to know about the string formatting using % and .format for which you can see Basic Formatting on PyFormat
If you want you can download the file from Github

Output


If you have any doubt or didn't understand any part of the code then comment in the comment box below and I will be glad to help you. You can also contact me if you want.

Cubic permutations ¶ The cube, 41063625 (3453), can be permuted to produce two other cubes: 56623104 (3843) and 66430125 (4053). In fact, 41063625 is the smallest cube which has exactly three permutations of its digits which are also cube. Find the smallest cube for which exactly five permutations of its digits are cube.

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...
