Can someone explain how to solve this problem
So, note that how the numbers are formed.
5
25
5 + 25
125
5 + 125
25 + 125
5 + 25 + 125
Wait, do you see something?
First of all convert the number in binary.
For eg. take n = 9
In binary:
625 125 25 5
1 0 0 1
The numbers in the upper row are powers of 5. So, the answer is the sum of binary digit multiplied by respective power of 5.
Which is 630 in this case. Hope this helped.
