1.Explain why 0.1 million has to be 100 000
2.a) How many numbers are there between 100 000 and 125 000 where the digits are n order from least to greatest? No digit can be repeated.
b) Which number is the least and which is the greatest?
3. Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss was born on April 30, 1777. He was one of the universal mathematicians; he studied every area of mathematics known at the time. Gauss was a child prodigy. One problem he solved as a child was to add the numbers from 1 to 100.
This may not sound like a big problem (especially with a calculator, which Gauss did not have), but he is said to have done the problem instantly at the age of 7. Try a simpler problem: Add the numbers from 1 to 10. See if you can see a pattern that might have helped Gauss find his sum of the numbers from 1 to 100.
