For 1 k n, since the number of the digits of F (k ) in base 10 is k , we can suppose F (k ) = a1 10k 1 + a2 10k 2 + + ak , 0 ai 9 and 1 i k . Therefore, we have F (k ) 101 +2 ++k = = Thus, 0 a(n) 1 + 101 + 102 + + 101n 10 0, as n . a(n + 1) F (n + 1) 9F (n + 1) a1 10k 1 + a2 10k 2 + + ak 101 +2 ++k 1 9 (1 + 10 + 102 + + 101k ) 101 +2 ++k1 +1 10 (1 10k ) 101 +2 ++k1 +1 1 1 k1 . + + + 1 2 k 1 10 10

a(n) = 0. a(n + 1)
If n be an even number, then we also have a(n) = F (1) + F (2) 101 + F (3) 101 +2 + + F (n) 101 +2 ++n1 and a(n + 1) = F (n + 1) + F (n) 10n+1 + F (n 1) 10n+1 +n + + F (1) 10n+1 +n ++2 .

a(n) = 0. This proves Theorem 1. a(n + 1) Now we prove Theorem 2. For the sequence b(n) = n(2n)(3n) (n n), let (n) denote the number of the digits of n2 in base 10, then by observation, we can obtain (2) = (3) = 1, (4) = 2, (10) = 3, (40) = 4, (100) = 5, (400) = 6, (1000) = 7, . When n ranges from 4 10 to 10+1 , (n) increases. That is to say, (4 10 ) = 2 + 2, and (10+1 ) = 2 + 3, where = 0, 1, 2, . So lim
n
For every positive integer n, it is obvious that k n k (n + 1), where 1 k n. So we b(n) can evaluate as b(n + 1) b(n) b(n + 1) = thus, b(n) 1 . (n+1) b ( n + 1) 10 n=1 n=1 If 4 10 n 10+1 1, then 2 + 2 (n) 2 + 3, where = 0, 1, 2, 3, . In addition, if 10+1 n 4 10+1 1, then 2 + 3 (n) 2 + 4, where = 0, 1, 2, 3, .
