USAMO 1988 Problem 1

  • Day 1

The repeating decimal 0.ab…kpq…u=m/n0 . \mathrm{ab} \ldots \mathrm{kpq} \ldots \mathrm{u}=\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{n}, where m\mathrm{m} and n\mathrm{n} are relatively prime integers, and there is at least one decimal before the repeating part. Show that n\mathrm{n} is divisible by 2 or 5 (or both). [For example, 0.01136‾=0.01136363636…=1/880.011 \underline{36}=0.01136363636 \ldots=1 / 88 and 88 is divisible by 2.]
