Problem: Find the sum of n1 over all positive integers n with the property that the decimal representation of n1 terminates.
Solution
Solution: The decimal representation of n1 terminates if and only if n=2i5j for some nonnegative integers i,j, so our desired sum is i≥0∑j≥0∑2−i5−j=i≥0∑2−ij≥0∑5−j=(1−2−1)−1(1−5−1)−1=1245=25
