The Fibonacci sequence is defined by the recurrence relation:
, where
and
.
Hence the first 12 terms will be:
The 12th term,
, is the first term to contain three digits.
What is the first term in the Fibonacci sequence to contain 1000 digits?
and the sum of its digits is
.
What is the sum of the digits of the number
?
The following iterative sequence is defined for the set of positive integers:
(n is even)
(n is odd)
Using the rule above and starting with 13, we generate the following sequence:
It can be seen that this sequence (starting at 13 and finishing at 1) contains 10 terms. Although it has not been proved yet (Collatz Problem), it is thought that all starting numbers finish at 1.
Which starting number, under one million, produces the longest chain?
NOTE: Once the chain starts the terms are allowed to go above one million.
Work out the first ten digits of the sum of the following one-hundred 50-digit numbers.

The sequence of triangle numbers is generated by adding the natural numbers. So the 7th triangle number would be 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 28. The first ten terms would be:
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55, …
Let us list the factors of the first seven triangle numbers:
1: 1
3: 1,3
6: 1,2,3,6
10: 1,2,5,10
15: 1,3,5,15
21: 1,3,7,21
28: 1,2,4,7,14,28We can see that 28 is the first triangle number to have over five divisors.
What is the value of the first triangle number to have over five hundred divisors?
At first it seemed like a piece of cake, however it wasn’t as easy as I thought it was…
