Could someone please help me with part d) of this question? http://i.imgur.com/kCV6O8M.jpg

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \text{Third iteration : }19 = 3 + 8\times 2\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that makes the smallest possible number after second iteration to be : \(38\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

continue the same in second iteration also

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \text{Second iteration : }38 = 20 + 9\times 2\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

smallest possible number after first iteration : \(209\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \text{First iteration : }209 = 191 + 9\times 2\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so, the required smallest number is : \(1919\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

it takes exactly 3 iterations, and it does require exactly 3 iterations

OpenStudy (sepeario):

yes it does @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

is that the correct answer ha xD

OpenStudy (sepeario):

you tell me i have no idea but thanks anyways @ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
