Correct answer: 1010
-
We are given
\quad \text{for all } m,n\in \mathbb N,$$ and $$f(1)=1.$$ -
Since the relation holds for all natural numbers, we can determine for every .
Using induction / repeated addition: and in general, Since , we get
-
Now evaluate Since ,
-
Split the sum: Hence,
-
The given inequality is
-
Simplify: and So, Therefore,
-
Divide by : Now, Since the largest natural number satisfying the inequality is
-
Verification: For , For , the sum increases by , giving so does not work.
Therefore, the required largest natural number is
