Problem 1

Find the smallest natural number whose decimal representation ends in 66 and for which moving this final digit to the front produces four times the original number.
Step 1 of 5: Represent the number and its rotated form
N=10n+6,4N=6⋅10m+nN=10n+6,\qquad 4N=6\cdot10^m+n
Detailed analysis

Let nn be the integer formed by deleting the final 66, and let it have mm digits. Then the original number is N=10n+6N=10n+6, while moving 66 to the front gives 6⋅10m+n6\cdot10^m+n.
