Solution

Let's denote the three-digit number as abc \overline{abc} , where a,b, a, b, and c c are its digits. This number can be expressed as 100a+10b+c 100a + 10b + c .

According to the problem, this number is equal to 22 times the sum of its digits. Therefore, we have the equation: 100a+10b+c=22(a+b+c) 100a + 10b + c = 22(a + b + c)

First, let's expand and simplify this equation: 100a+10b+c=22a+22b+22c 100a + 10b + c = 22a + 22b + 22c

Next, we move all terms involving a,b, a, b, and c c to one side of the equation: 100a+10b+c22a22b22c=0 100a + 10b + c - 22a - 22b - 22c = 0

Combine like terms: 78a12b21c=0 78a - 12b - 21c = 0

To simplify, we can divide the entire equation by 3: 26a4b7c=0 26a - 4b - 7c = 0

Now, we need to find the values of a,b, a, b, and c c that satisfy this equation, where a,b, a, b, and c c are digits (i.e., integers from 0 to 9) and a a is a non-zero digit since it's a three-digit number.

Let's solve for c c in terms of a a and b b : 26a=4b+7c 26a = 4b + 7c 7c=26a4b 7c = 26a - 4b c=26a4b7 c = \frac{26a - 4b}{7}

For c c to be a digit, 26a4b 26a - 4b must be divisible by 7. We will test values of a a from 1 to 9 and find corresponding b b and c c that are digits.

  1. For a=1 a = 1 : 26(1)4b=7c 26(1) - 4b = 7c 264b=7c 26 - 4b = 7c We need 264b 26 - 4b to be divisible by 7. Testing values of b b :

    • b=1 b = 1 : 264(1)=22 26 - 4(1) = 22 (not divisible by 7)
    • b=2 b = 2 : 264(2)=18 26 - 4(2) = 18 (not divisible by 7)
    • b=3 b = 3 : 264(3)=14 26 - 4(3) = 14 (divisible by 7) c=147=2 c = \frac{14}{7} = 2 So, one solution is a=1,b=3,c=2 a = 1, b = 3, c = 2 . The number is 132.
  2. For a=2 a = 2 : 26(2)4b=7c 26(2) - 4b = 7c 524b=7c 52 - 4b = 7c We need 524b 52 - 4b to be divisible by 7. Testing values of b b :

    • b=1 b = 1 : 524(1)=48 52 - 4(1) = 48 (not divisible by 7)
    • b=2 b = 2 : 524(2)=44 52 - 4(2) = 44 (not divisible by 7)
    • b=3 b = 3 : 524(3)=40 52 - 4(3) = 40 (not divisible by 7)
    • b=4 b = 4 : 524(4)=36 52 - 4(4) = 36 (not divisible by 7)
    • b=5 b = 5 : 524(5)=32 52 - 4(5) = 32 (not divisible by 7)
    • b=6 b = 6 : 524(6)=28 52 - 4(6) = 28 (divisible by 7) c=287=4 c = \frac{28}{7} = 4 So, another solution is a=2,b=6,c=4 a = 2, b = 6, c = 4 . The number is 264.
  3. For a=3 a = 3 : 26(3)4b=7c 26(3) - 4b = 7c 784b=7c 78 - 4b = 7c We need 784b 78 - 4b to be divisible by 7. Testing values of b b :

    • b=1 b = 1 : 784(1)=74 78 - 4(1) = 74 (not divisible by 7)
    • b=2 b = 2 : 784(2)=70 78 - 4(2) = 70 (divisible by 7) c=707=10 c = \frac{70}{7} = 10 (not a valid digit)

Continuing this process for a=4 a = 4 to a=9 a = 9 , we find that no other values of a,b, a, b, and c c satisfy the equation with c c being a valid digit.

Thus, the only three-digit numbers that satisfy the given condition are 132 and 264. The sum of these numbers is: 132+264=396 132 + 264 = 396

Therefore, the sum of all the three-digit numbers which are equal to 22 times the sum of their digits is 396 \boxed{396} .
