Happy 2022!
2022 is abundant, composite, even, evil, square-free, and untouchable.
In addition, 2022 is the smallest number n such that n, n+1, n+2, and n+3 have the maximal exponents in prime factorization equal 1, 2, 3, and 4 correspondingly. Indeed, 2022 = 2·3·337, 2023 = 7·172, 2024 = 23·11·23, and 2025 = 34·52.
Share:Problem. The numbers 22021 and 52021 are expanded, and their digits are written out consecutively on one page. How many total digits are on the page?

Let 2^2021=a*10^b is a b+1 digit number and 5^2021=10/a*10^c is a c+1 digit number with 1<a<10 and b,c in Z so that 10^2021=10*10^(b+c) or b+c=2020 gives n+1=2022 total digits on the page! Happy 2022 to you too!

Haha… 2022
its basically ceiling(log (x)) + ceiling (log (y))

A product of an m-digit number and an n-digit number has m+n digits or m+n-1 digits (It is funny that I never thought of this before solving this problem). Since 2^2021 * 5^2021 = 10^2021 which has 2022 digits the sum of digits of 2^2021 and 5^2021 must be 2022 or 2023.
In general the (m+n)-digit case occurs when there is a carryover in the highest digit e.g in 34… * 61…..
2 February 2022, 4:45 pmand the (m+n-1)-digit case occurs when there is no carryover as in 16… * 28….. But 10^x can only be factored
without a carryover in the highest digit when its both factors are also powers of ten. Since 2^2021 ist no power of ten it must be the (m+n)-case which means the sum of the digits of the factors are the same as the digits of the product, so 2022 is the solution.
