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
~ PythZhou
Solution 5 (Solution 2 but more in-depth)
The sum of all of the digits is just the sum of consecutive numbers from or . The prime factorization of is . So if a number is divisible by it has to both be divisible by and . The first number that satisfies this ends in because the ten's digit is one greater than the ten's digit in the consecutive numbers from to , and the one's digit is one less than this number, and the number ends in a 5. The difference between and is giving .
