Shakuntla Devi, Karl Gauss, Archimedes could do a lot of quick maths since their young ages. Can you do better and find the sum of all the digits in integers from one and a billion. Note, that’s all the digits in all the numbers, not all the numbers themselves.

  1. To Find :-

    Sum of all the digits in integers from one and a billion.

    Solution :-

    we know that,

    • 1 Billion = 1,000,000,000 = 10⁹
    • sum(10^d – 1) = sum{10^(d-1) – 1} * 10 + 45*{10^(d-1)}

    so,

    → sum(999999999) :-

    => sum(10⁹-1) = sum(10⁸ – 1)*10 + 45*10⁸

    => sum(10⁸ – 1) = sum(10⁷ – 1)*10 + 45*10⁷

    => sum(10⁷ – 1) = sum(10⁶ – 1)*10 + 45*10⁶

    => sum(10⁶ – 1) = sum(10⁵-1)*10 + 45*10⁵

    => sum(10⁵ – 1) = sum(10⁴ – 1)*10 + 45*10⁴

    => sum(10⁴ – 1) = sum(10³ – 1)*10+ 45*10³

    => sum(10³ – 1) = sum(10² – 1)*10 + 45*10²

    => sum(10² – 1) = sum(10 – 1)*10 + 45*10 = (10*9/2)*10 + 450 = 450 + 450 = 900 .

    then,

    → sum(10³ – 1) = 900*10 + 45 * 10² = 9000 + 4500 = 13500 .

    → sum(10⁴ – 1) = 13500*10 + 45*10³ = 135000 + 45*1000 = 135000 + 45000 = 180000

    → sum(10⁵ – 1) = 180000*10 + 45*10⁴ = 1800000 + 450000 = 2250000 .

    → sum(10⁶-1) = 2250000*10 + 45*10⁵ = 22500000 + 4500000 = 27000000

    → sum(10⁷ – 1) = 27000000*10 + 45*10⁶ = 315000000

    → sum(10⁸ – 1) = 315000000*10 + 45*10⁷ = 3600,000,000

    therefore,

    → sum(10⁹ – 1) = 3600,000,000 * 10 + 45*10⁸ = 40,500,000,000 .

    hence,

    → 1 to 1 Billion integers sum = sum(999999999) + sum(1,000,000,000) = 40,500,000,000 + 1 = 40,500,000,001 (Ans.)

    Excellent Question .
