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
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 9 because the sum of the digits is (22*45) which is divisible by 9. Subtracting 9 from the integer we get 1234 ... 4335, which is also divisible by 5, making it also divisible by 45. Thus the remainder is 9.
