Determine all positive integers for which there exist exactly 2014 positive integers such that .
Solution
Rewrite as . It follows that the sequence contains 2014 multiples of 10, hence it contains at least 2013 and at most 2015 groups of 10 consecutive numbers. We deduce that , which leads to . By inspection, we conclude that the required values of are: 6710, 6712, and 6713.
