    We can add the digits of the numbers in any order we want. Including leading zeros, in the set of all n-digit numbers each digit appears equally often, or 1/10th of the time. There are 10^n n-digit numbers and each has n digits, so there are n*10^n digits in total and each of the 10 distinct digits occurs n*10^(n-1) times. Summing all this brings us n*10^(n-1)*45 where 45 is the sum of a single set of each digit.

    why would you prove that by induction ??? there is a logical way of finding that… without dropping the formula out of nowhere !
    It's quite clear when you see it : When you manipulate all numbers with n or less digits, you have in hand all possible combinations of n digits !, so in total you do have 10^n numbers, but since each number is n digits long (counting 0s as digits in say 0001), you do get n*10^n digits in total !
    but each one of them has exactly 1/10 chance of being any specific digit between 0 and 9, so every digit appears n*10^n /10 times
    so to have the sum of all those digits, you simply have to sum numbers from 0 to 9 (9*10/2 = 45) and then multiply by that n*10^(n-1) !
    You can just find this an = 45 n 10^(n-1) formula in quite a simple way !

    There's a really interesting problem like this, but with the product of the nonzero digits instead. If you write p(n) as the product of the nonzero digits of n, then
    p(1)+p(2)+...+p(9)+p(10)=46,
    p(1)+p(2)+...+p(99)+p(100)=46^2,
    and so on. A quick way to prove it is to expand (1+1+2+3+4+...+9)^n and show that it gives exactly p(1)+p(2)+...+p(10^n).

    There is a much easier route to the solution. Just realize that ΣS(n) from n=0 tp 10^M -1 is just the sum of all digits present. There are 10^M such numbers with M decimal places. One tenth of the places goes to each digit 0…9. So the sum is 45*M*10^(M-1).

  • @jursamaj

    Hmm. I didn't break it into the difference of 2 sums, nor did I go the induction route, but just figured the number directly:
    A=2003 (the exponent in the lower limit of the sum).
    The total number of numbers being summed is the difference in the upper and lower limits of the sum, plus 1: 10^(A+1)-1-10^A+1 = 9*10^A.
    The 1st column is equally split between the digits 1 thru 9, so it's average digit is 45/9. Multiply by the number of numbers: (45/9)*9*10^A = 45*10^A.
    Every other column is equally split between the digits 0 thru 9, so it's average digit is 45/10. Multiply by the number of numbers: (45/10)*9*10^A = 405*10^(A-1).
    There are 1 '1st column' + A 'other columns': 45*10^A+A*405*10^(A-1) = 450*10^(A-1)+A*405*10^(A-1) = (450+A*405)*10^(A-1).
    Since A=2003, the result is (450+2003*405)*10^2002 = 811665*10^2002. Sum of digits is 27.
    As expected, using the above formula for different values of A always yields multiples of 9. But those multiples bounce around in a way I can't immediately spot a pattern in.

    Phew, I did this without notation and eventually got the same answer. Writing out the numbers in the sum they are
    1000... 000 1 followed by 2003 0's
    1000... 001
    1000... 002
    .
    9999... 999 2004 9's
    There are 10^2004 - 10^2003 entries overall i.e. 9x10^2003. In all but the first column we have 0,1,2,.. 9 occurring with equal frequency, mean 4.5. In the first column we have 1,2,... 9, occurring with equal frequency, mean 5 Therefore
    N = 9 x 10^2003 x (2003 x 4.5 + 5)
    = 9 x (2003 x 45 + 50) x10^2002
    = 811665 followed by 2002 0's
    s(N) = 27

      This. Adding up all the numbers from 0, then subtracting the sum of all numbers shorter than 2004 digits, seems like extra work.

    Seems like a long way to go, calculating all the way up from 1+digit numbers, instead of just figuring out a formula for the sum of all the 2004-digit numbers, which is what the original sigma over k appears to be.

    We need to calculate the sum of the digits of the numbers from 10...0 (a "1" followed by 2003 digits "0") to 9...9 (2004 digits "9").
    In total we have 9*10^2003 numbers. In all positions from one to place 2003, all the different ten digits appear with the same frequency, while in place 2004 only the digits "1" to "9" appear
    The sum of a single sequence of digits from "0" to "9" is (9+0)*(10/2)=45.
    For each of the seat positions less than or equal to 2003 each digit is repeated 9*10^2003/10=9*10^2002 times, therefore the sum of the digits for all these positions is 2003*45*9*10^2002= 811215*10^2002.
    In position 2004 each digit repeats 9*10^2003/9=10^2003 times, so the sum of the digits for this position is 45*10^2003=450*10^2002.
    The sum of all the digits is therefore 811215*10^2002+450*10^2002=811665*10^2002.
