A palindrome number is the same either read from left to right or right to left, for example, 121.121.121. How many 5−5−5−digit palindrome numbers are there altogether???
Answer:
900900900
- We need to find the total number of 5−5−5− digit palindrome numbers.
- 101010 digits (0,1,2,…,9)(0,1,2,…,9)(0,1,2,…,9) can be used to fill in the places in the number.
The first digit cannot be zero in order to make it a 555 digit number.
Therefore, We have 999 choices for the first place.
For the 2nd2nd2nd and the 3rd3rd3rd place, we have 101010 choices each. - For a 5−5−5−digit number to be a palindrome number the 1st1st1st and the 5th5th5th , the 2nd2nd2nd and the 4th4th4th digit of the number needs to be the same.
Therefore, the total number of 555 digit palindrome numbers =9×10×10=900=9×10×10=900=9×10×10=900 - Hence, there are 900900900 5− 5− 5−digit palindrome numbers altogether.
