- It is less than one million
- The tens value is greater than the ten thousands value
- It is odd
The number described above could be which of the following?
A $1,294,191$
B 79,685
C 348,273
D 574,943
Solution
Solution Steps
To determine which number fits the given characteristics, we need to check each option against the criteria:
The thousands digit must be a multiple of 2.
The number must be less than one million.
The tens digit must be greater than the ten thousands digit.
The number must be odd.
We will write a Python function to evaluate each number based on these conditions.
Step 1: Check the Thousands Digit
The thousands digit of the number must be a multiple of \(2\). For the number \(348273\), the thousands digit is \(8\), which is indeed a multiple of \(2\).
Step 2: Check the Range
The number must be less than one million. Since \(348273 < 1000000\), this condition is satisfied.
Step 3: Compare the Tens and Ten Thousands Digits
The tens digit must be greater than the ten thousands digit. In \(348273\), the tens digit is \(7\) and the ten thousands digit is \(4\). Since \(7 > 4\), this condition holds true.
Step 4: Check if the Number is Odd
The number must be odd. The last digit of \(348273\) is \(3\), which is odd.
Final Answer
All conditions are satisfied for the number \(348273\). Therefore, the answer is \\(\boxed{348273}\\).
