Algebra and Number Theory Answer
For any positive integers a a a and b b b with b > 1 b>1 b > 1 , let s b ( a ) s_{b}(a) s b ( a ) be the sum of the digits of a a a when it is written in base b b b . Suppose n n n is a positive integer such that
∑ i = 1 ⌊ log 23 n ⌋ s 20 ( ⌊ n 23 i ⌋ ) = 103 and ∑ i = 1 ⌊ log 20 n ⌋ s 23 ( ⌊ n 20 i ⌋ ) = 115 \sum_{i=1}^{\left\lfloor\log _{23} n\right\rfloor} s_{20}\left(\left\lfloor\frac{n}{23^{i}}\right\rfloor\right)=103 \text { and } \sum_{i=1}^{\left\lfloor\log _{20} n\right\rfloor} s_{23}\left(\left\lfloor\frac{n}{20^{i}}\right\rfloor\right)=115 i = 1 ∑ ⌊ l o g 23 n ⌋ s 20 ( ⌊ 2 3 i n ⌋ ) = 103 and i = 1 ∑ ⌊ l o g 20 n ⌋ s 23 ( ⌊ 2 0 i n ⌋ ) = 115
Compute s 20 ( n ) − s 23 ( n ) s_{20}(n)-s_{23}(n) s 20 ( n ) − s 23 ( n ) .
