99 x 7 = 693;
99 x 15 = 1485;
99 x 87 = 8613;
99 x 36 = 3564;
...
99 x n:
n - 1 i.e.: 7 - 1 = 6;
100 - n i.e.: 100 - 7 = 93
so: 99 x 7 = 6, 93 > 693;
n - 1 i.e.: 15 - 1 = 14;
100 - n i.e.: 100 - 15 = 85
so: 99 x 15 = 14, 85 > 1485;
...
challenge:
99 x 123 = ?
99 x 221 = ?
99 x 383 = ?
and how?
enjoy!
