Problem
Let be the
-digit number that is formed by writing the integers from
to
in order, one after the other. What is the remainder when
is divided by
?
Solution 1
We will consider this number and
. By looking at the last digit, it is obvious that the number is
. To calculate the number
, note that
so it is equivalent to
Let be the remainder when this number is divided by
. We know that
and
, so by the Chinese remainder theorem, since
,
, or
. So the answer is
.
Solution 2
We know that this number is divisible by because the sum of the digits is
, which is divisible by
. If we subtracted
from the integer we would get
, which is also divisible by
and by
. Thus the remainder is
, or
.
Solution 3 (Beginner's Method)
To find the sum of digits of our number, we break it up into cases, starting with
,
,
,
, or
.
Case 1: ,
Case 2: (We add 10 to the previous cases, as we are in the next ten's place)
Case 3: ,
Case 4: ,
Case 5: ,
Thus the sum of the digits is , so the number is divisible by
. We notice that the number ends in "
", which is
more than a multiple of
. Thus if we subtracted
from our number it would be divisible by
, and
. (Multiple of n - n = Multiple of n)
So our remainder is , the value we need to add to the multiple of
to get to our number.
Solution 4
We notice that .
Hence
Choose
