Problem By listing the first six prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13, we can see that the 6th prime is 13. What is the 10001st prime number? Solution Here I borrowed the findFactors and isPrime functions I first used in the problem 3 solution, except this time they don’t have to be …
Problem The sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers is, 12 + 22 + … + 102 = 385 The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is, (1 + 2 + … + 10)2 = 552 = 3025 Hence the difference between the sum of the squares of …
Problem 2520 is the smallest number that can be divided by each of the numbers from 1 to 10 without any remainder. What is the smallest positive number that is evenly divisible by all of the numbers from 1 to 20? Solution Again, I build two functions to handle the logic of checking whether a …
Problem A palindromic number reads the same both ways. The largest palindrome made from the product of two 2-digit numbers is 9009 = 91 x 99. Find the largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit numbers. Solution In my solution above, I first built a function to check whether a given number is …
Problem The prime factors of 13195 are 5, 7, 13 and 29. What is the largest prime factor of the number 600851475143 ? Solution As this solution requires a bit more work, I created two helper functions findFactorsOf and isPrime, and as you’ve probably noticed, I had explicitly declare that the value n should be …
Problem Each new term in the Fibonacci sequence is generated by adding the previous two terms. By starting with 1 and 2, the first 10 terms will be: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, … Find the sum of all the even-valued terms in the sequence which do not exceed four …
Introduction Having spent a bit of time learning the basics of F# I decided to try my hands on actually writing some code and get a better feel of the language and get more used to writing function code in general. And for that purpose, Project Euler provides a great source for small, isolated problems …
Disclaimer: I do not claim credit for the code examples and much of the contents here, these are mostly extracts from the book by Chris Smith, Programming F#: A comprehensive guide for writing simple code to solve complex problems. In fact, if you’re thinking of learning F# and like what you read here, you should …
