The number can contain only the digits 1,2 besides 0. 1 * 44 = 44 and
there is no overflow( if in the number the sum is one then it becomes 8,
and if it is 2 the the sum of digits is 16) so the sum of digits is 8
times. if any digit is 3 to 9 then sum of digits less than 8 times so
this shall give a lesser sum
(just an observation and not required for the result) Again 1 may be preceded/succeeded by 0 or 1 as 11 * 44 = 484 . but 2
has to be preceded/succeeded by 0 as 21 * 44 = 924 and 12 * 44 = 538
and the sum of digits become less
So the number shall have 0 1 and 2 meeting above conditions so that sum
of digits 100 and when we multiply by 3 (that is 3n) the digits shall be
0,3,6 and there is no overflow and sum of digits 300.
some short and selected math problems of different levels in random order I try to keep the ans simple
