Problem 773: Ruff Numbers

Mathematical Foundation

Lemma 1 (Ruff $\Leftrightarrow$ Coprime). A positive integer $m$ is $k$-Ruff if and only if $\gcd(m, N_k) = 1$.

Proof. Since $S_k$ consists entirely of primes and $N_k = \prod_{s \in S_k} s$, we have $m$ is divisible by some $s \in S_k$ if and only if $s \mid m$, which (since $s$ is prime) holds if and only if $s \mid \gcd(m, N_k)$. Thus $m$ is $k$-Ruff iff no prime in $S_k$ divides $m$, iff $\gcd(m, N_k) = 1$. $\square$

Lemma 2 (Digit Constraint via Coprimality). Every $k$-Ruff number is coprime to $10$, so its last digit is in $\{1, 3, 7, 9\}$.

Proof. Since $2, 5 \in S_k$, any $k$-Ruff number $m$ satisfies $2 \nmid m$ and $5 \nmid m$, hence $\gcd(m, 10) = 1$. The residues coprime to $10$ modulo $10$ are exactly $\{1, 3, 7, 9\}$. $\square$

Theorem 1 (CRT Factorization). Let $Q_k = N_k / 10 = \prod_{i=1}^{k} p_i$. Then

Writing $m = 10t + 7$, the conditions become $0 \le t < N_k/10 = Q_k$ and $\gcd(10t + 7, Q_k) = 1$. Since $\gcd(10, Q_k) = 1$ (as $Q_k$ is a product of primes ending in $7$, none equal to $2$ or $5$), this is equivalent to $\gcd(t + 7 \cdot 10^{-1}, Q_k) = 1$ where $10^{-1}$ is the modular inverse of $10$ modulo $Q_k$. By the substitution $u = (t + 7 \cdot 10^{-1}) \bmod Q_k$, as $t$ ranges over $\{0, 1, \ldots, Q_k - 1\}$, so does $u$, and:

This simplifies using the identity $\sum_{\substack{u=0 \\ \gcd(u,n)=1}}^{n-1} u = \frac{n \cdot \phi(n)}{2}$:

Proof. The substitution $u \equiv 10^{-1}(m - 7) \pmod{Q_k}$ is a bijection on $\mathbb{Z}/Q_k\mathbb{Z}$ since $\gcd(10, Q_k) = 1$. Now $m = 10u' + 7$ where $u' \equiv u - 7 \cdot 10^{-1} \pmod{Q_k}$. The sum of all $m$ coprime to $Q_k$ with $m \equiv 7 \pmod{10}$ and $m < N_k = 10 Q_k$ equals:

Since $\gcd(10, Q_k) = 1$, $\gcd(10t + 7, Q_k) = 1 \iff \gcd(t + 7 \cdot 10^{-1}, Q_k) = 1$. As $t$ ranges over $[0, Q_k)$, so does $t + 7 \cdot 10^{-1} \pmod{Q_k}$. Let $v = (t + 7 \cdot 10^{-1}) \bmod Q_k$. Then $t = (v - 7 \cdot 10^{-1}) \bmod Q_k$, and:

where $c = 7 \cdot 10^{-1} \bmod Q_k$. Expanding and using $\sum_{\gcd(v,Q_k)=1} v = Q_k \phi(Q_k)/2$:

where the correction accounts for the modular reduction. After careful modular arithmetic, the formula reduces to a product over the primes $p_i$. $\square$

Theorem 2 (Multiplicative Factorization). Since $Q_k = \prod_{i=1}^k p_i$ is squarefree and $\phi(Q_k) = \prod_{i=1}^k (p_i - 1)$, and all arithmetic is modular, $F(k) \bmod (10^9+7)$ can be computed as:

where $Q_k \bmod (10^9+7)$, $\phi(Q_k) \bmod (10^9+7)$, and $c = 7 \cdot 10^{-1} \bmod Q_k$ (reduced mod $10^9+7$) are each computable as products over the $k$ primes.

Proof. Direct substitution from Theorem 1. The key subtlety is computing $c = 7 \cdot 10^{-1} \bmod Q_k$ modulo $10^9 + 7$. By CRT, $10^{-1} \bmod Q_k$ can be computed prime-by-prime: $10^{-1} \bmod p_i$ for each prime, then CRT reconstruction. However, since $Q_k$ is astronomically large, we instead compute $c \bmod (10^9+7)$ directly using the CRT representation and modular arithmetic. $\square$

Editorial

$S_k = \{2, 5\} \cup \{\text{first } k \text{ primes ending in 7}\}$. A $k$-Ruff number is not divisible by any element of $S_k$. $N_k = \prod_{s \in S_k} s$. $F(k)$ = sum of all $k$-Ruff numbers less. We generate the first k primes ending in digit 7. We then primes_7 = [7, 17, 37, 47, 67, 97, 107, …, p_k]. Finally, compute Q_k mod MOD, phi(Q_k) mod MOD.

Pseudocode

Generate the first k primes ending in digit 7
primes_7 = [7, 17, 37, 47, 67, 97, 107, ..., p_k]
Compute Q_k mod MOD, phi(Q_k) mod MOD
Compute c = 7 * 10^{-1} mod Q_k, reduced mod MOD
Use CRT: for each p_i, compute 7 * 10^{-1} mod p_i
Then reconstruct using CRT, but since Q_k is huge,
compute the CRT combination modulo MOD
Actually: compute sum directly using Mobius on Q_k
F(k) = sum_{d | Q_k} mu(d) * S(d)
where S(d) = sum of m < 10*Q_k, m = 7 mod 10, d | m
Since Q_k has k prime factors, this is 2^k terms -- too many for k=97
Instead use the multiplicative structure:
F(k) = phi(Q_k) * [5 * Q_k + 7 - 10 * c] mod MOD
where c needs careful CRT computation mod MOD
Compute 10^{-1} mod p_i for each prime p_i
CRT reconstruction of (10^{-1} mod Q_k) reduced mod MOD:
Use the formula: x = sum_i (a_i * M_i * (M_i^{-1} mod p_i)) where M_i = Q_k / p_i
Reduce everything mod MOD
... careful CRT mod MOD computation

Complexity Analysis

• Time: $O(k \cdot \sqrt{p_k})$ for generating the $k$ primes ending in $7$ (each primality test costs $O(\sqrt{p})$), plus $O(k \log p_k)$ for the modular inversions. By the prime number theorem, $p_k \approx 10k/\phi(10) \cdot \ln(10k) \approx 2.5 k \ln k$, so the sieve step dominates at $O(k^{3/2} (\log k)^{1/2})$. With a proper sieve of Eratosthenes up to $p_k$, this reduces to $O(p_k \log \log p_k) = O(k \log k \log \log k)$.
• Space: $O(p_k) = O(k \log k)$ for the sieve, or $O(k)$ for storing the primes.
