[seqfan] Re: Dividing the sum of the k leftmost digits of N by k

[Robert Israel]

It can't exist, since for k=10, 0+1+...+9 = 45 is not divisible by 10. 
Moreover, if my Maple program is to be believed, there are none with 8 or 
9 digits.  However, there are 15 with 7 digits:
1502794
1506394
1560394
2015794
4839605
4893605
4897205
5102794
5106394
5160394
7984205
8439605
8493605
8497205
9784205

Cheers,
Robert Israel
