Question

Splinter wrote a three-digit number on the board.
Then he asked each of the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and
Michelangelo) to count the number of letters in his name. (Donatello has 9 letters in his name.)
Splinter said that for each turtle, the number on the board minus the number of letters in the turtle's
name is evenly divisible by the number of letters.
Each turtle confirmed that Splinter was right.
Find the number Splinter wrote on the board.

Answer 1

The three-digit number that Splinter wrote down is:

• 504

Response Identification

To solve the exercise, you must first count the number of letters in the names of each of the ninja turtles:

• Leonardo: 8 letters
• Raphael: 7 letters
• Donatello: 9 letters
• Michelangelo: 12 letters

Therefore, a three-digit number must be found that is divisible by 7, 8, 9 and 12. Therefore, the number 504 is proposed, since:

• 504 / 7 = 72
• 504 / 8 = 63
• 504 / 9 = 56
• 505 / 12 = 42

And even if the same number of letters is subtracted, the number would still be divisible by that number of letters.
