Regarding this problem:
If your car made it to 1,000,000 miles, how many times would the
number 1 have shown up?
Simple answer : 1.
The "number" 1 only shows up once.
If you mean "the digit 1" it depends whether you mean: "How many of
the one million numbers would have at least one "1" digit" or "How
many occurrences of the digit "1" would there be in total".
There is a psychological element too. What if a digit qualifies as
"showing" only when you're looking at it? Then the question is
unanswerable.
