999919 = 1000000 - 81 = 1000^2 - 9^2 = (1000+9)(1000-9) = 1009*991.
Since there were more mice than there were cats, 991 cats killed 1009 mice each.

kartik  (8 years ago)

No. of cats = x(say)
Therefore, no. of mice killed by each cat = 999919/x (since, they killed equal no. of mice)
Now, given that

(999919/x) is greater than x, i.e

999919/x > x, implies x*x
