Well, darling, if you want to add a 3-digit number to 457 without regrouping, that number would have to be less than 543. So, the largest 3-digit number you can add to 457 without regrouping is 542. But hey, if you want to play it safe and avoid any math drama, just stick with good old 100.
The five digit negative integer furthest from 0 is -99,999.
9999 is the 4-digit number and 999 is the 3-digit number.
9
the leading digit
The number of 3-digit numbers with no repeated digits is simply 10x9x8 = 720, if you allow, for example, 012 as a 3-digit number. There are 10 digits, any of which might be the first digit. The second digit can be any digit except the digit that was used for the first digit, leaving 9 possibilities. The third digit then has 8 possibilities, since it can't be the same as the first or second digit. The actual number of possible area codes will be lower, because there are additional restrictions on the number combinations for a valid area code. For example, in North America (USA, Canada, etc.), the first digit of an area code cannot be 0 or 1 and the middle digit cannot be 9.
