Generating ordered combination of numbers [closed]
I can form numbers with only 0,2,4,6,8.
The sequence is as follows 0,2,4,6,8,20,22,24,26,28,40,42,.....
How to generate an ordered sequence of numbers from combinations of 0,2,4,6,8.
Solution 1:
Divide each number by 2 and then imagine that the resulting digit patterns are in base 5 rather than base 10. What are the numbers then?
Sequence:
$0, 2, 4, 6 ,8, 20, 22, 24, ... $
Divide by 2:
$0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, ... $
Treat digital patterns as if they were base 5:
$0_5, 1_5, 2_5, 3_5, 4_5, 10_5, 11_5, 12_5, ...$
Translate base 5 numbers back to base 10:
$0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ... $
Hmmm...
To find the 100th number in the sequence, work this pattern backwards:
$100-1=99$
$99=344_5$
$344_{10}×2=688$
This should just about do it.
