Since the first and second digits of the original integer are not 0 , and the first and last digits are erased, the original integer must be exactly 2 digits more than the resulting integer. However, since the original integer is more than 1 0 0 0 times the resulting digit, the original digit must be at least 3 digits more than the original integer. Therefore, there are 0 possible original integers that fit the given criteria.
