Pages in a book are numbered in typical fashion, starting with !. The folio for page 10 will contain the tenth and eleventh digits necessary to paginate the book. On what page will the 2009th digit occur?
Can you help
Yes, I can help you with that! To determine on what page the 2009th digit will occur, we need to understand how the digits are arranged in the book.
In the given scenario, the first page of the book is numbered as 1, and the pages are numbered consecutively from there. The folio system means that each page contains two digits, with the first digit being the rightmost one on the page.
To find on which page the 2009th digit occurs, we can divide 2009 by 2 (since each page has two digits) to find the page number. However, since page numbers start with 1, we need to add 1 to the final result.
Let's do the calculation:
2009 divided by 2 equals 1004.5.
Since we cannot have a fraction of a page, we round 1004.5 up to the next whole number, which is 1005.
Next, we add 1 to the result:
1005 + 1 = 1006.
Therefore, the 2009th digit will occur on page 1006.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any additional questions.
