If you remove the last digit (one’s place) from a 4-digit whole number, the resulting number is a factor of the 4-digit number. How many such 4-digit numbers are present?

Answer:

  900

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that your 4-digit number must be in the range 1000 to 9999. Clearly, any number ending in zero will meet your requirement:

  1000/100 = 10

  3890/389 = 10

However, the requirement cannot be met when the 1s digit is other than zero.

__

For some 3-digit number N and some 1s digit x, the 4-digit number will be

  4-digit number: 10N+x

Dividing this by N will give ...

  (10N+x)/N = 10 remainder x

N will only be a factor of 10N+x when x=0.

So, there are 900 4-digit numbers that meet your requirement. They range from 1000 to 9990.
