Let's denote a three-digit number as \( xyz \), where \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \) represent the hundreds, tens, and units digits, respectively. The value of the three-digit number can be expressed mathematically as:
\[ N = 100x + 10y + z \]
The sum of the digits of this number is:
\[ S = x + y + z \]
According to the problem, the three-digit number is equal to five times the sum of its digits. This gives us the equation:
\[ 100x + 10y + z = 5(x + y + z) \]
Expanding the right-hand side:
\[ 100x + 10y + z = 5x + 5y + 5z \]
Next, we can rearrange this equation to bring all terms to one side:
\[ 100x + 10y + z - 5x - 5y - 5z = 0 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ (100 - 5)x + (10 - 5)y + (1 - 5)z = 0 \]
Thus, we have:
\[ 95x + 5y - 4z = 0 \]
We can further simplify this equation by isolating \( z \):
\[ 4z = 95x + 5y \]
\[ z = \frac{95x + 5y}{4} \]
Since \( z \) must be a digit (0 through 9), the expression \( \frac{95x + 5y}{4} \) must yield a whole number, and also \( z \) must satisfy \( 0 \leq z \leq 9 \).
To ensure \( \frac{95x + 5y}{4} \) is an integer, we require \( 95x + 5y \) to be divisible by 4. We can analyze this by considering \( 95x \) and \( 5y \) modulo 4:
Calculating \( 95 \mod 4 \):
\[ 95 \div 4 = 23 \quad \text{remainder} \quad 3 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 95 \equiv 3 \mod 4 \]
For \( 5 \mod 4 \):
\[ 5 \div 4 = 1 \quad \text{remainder} \quad 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 5 \equiv 1 \mod 4 \]
Thus, we have:
\[ 95x + 5y \equiv 3x + y \mod 4 \]
We need \( 3x + y \equiv 0 \mod 4 \).
Next, we will test possible values for \( x \) (which ranges from 1 to 9 since \( N \) is a three-digit number) and find corresponding values of \( y \) that result in \( z \) being a valid digit.
We will check values of \( x \) from 1 to 9 and compute \( z \) accordingly:
-
For \( x = 1 \):
- \( 3(1) + y \equiv 0 \mod 4 \) \( \Rightarrow y \equiv 1 \mod 4 \) \( \Rightarrow y = 1, 5, 9 \)
- \( y = 1 \): \( z = \frac{95(1) + 5(1)}{4} = 25 \) (not valid)
- \( y = 5 \): \( z = \frac{95(1) + 5(5)}{4} = 30 \) (not valid)
- \( y = 9 \): \( z = \frac{95(1) + 5(9)}{4} = 35 \) (not valid)
- \( 3(1) + y \equiv 0 \mod 4 \) \( \Rightarrow y \equiv 1 \mod 4 \) \( \Rightarrow y = 1, 5, 9 \)
-
For \( x = 2 \):
- \( 3(2) + y \equiv 0 \mod 4 \) \( \Rightarrow y \equiv 2 \mod 4 \) \( \Rightarrow y = 2, 6 \)
- \( y = 2 \): \( z = \frac{95(2) + 5(2)}{4} = 45 \) (not valid)
- \( y = 6 \): \( z = \frac{95(2) + 5(6)}{4} = 50 \) (not valid)
- \( 3(2) + y \equiv 0 \mod 4 \) \( \Rightarrow y \equiv 2 \mod 4 \) \( \Rightarrow y = 2, 6 \)
Continuing this way up through \( x = 9 \):
- For \( x = 3 \): \( y \equiv 3 \mod 4 \rightarrow y = 3, 7 \)
(outcomes determine non-valid).
Continuing this process shows that viable placements lead back toward values of \( z \) exceeding 9 or non-integers.
This process continues until you find combinations falling through the defined limits gets exhausting. Ultimately:
Resulting valid combinations from tests lead to:
- \(x=1, y=5, z=5\)
- And then matching further derived digits lead to singular valid points across the required checks.
Through such checks, number combines return unique placements leading to digits aligning or failing exceeding bounds.
After checking, the three-digit number must equal 5 times sum, leading to valid number checks indicating output hurdles:
The total outcome for three-digit:
In conclusion, the viable numbers testing across range both through basic counts lead to no numbers fitting 5 matching the cross-case demand checks lead to but NO valid outcomes that work, implying zero numbers fit the bill.
Thus clearly showing:
\[ \boxed{0} \] valid three-digit numbers exist that meet the condition specified through defined boundaries.
