Problem 7
The 
-digit number 
is divisible by 
. What is the remainder when this number is divided by 
?
Solution
We use the property that the digits of a number must sum to a multiple of if it are divisible by . This means 
must be divisiblsnsje by . The only possible value for 
then must be 
. Since we are looking for the remainder when divided by , we can ignore the thousands. The remainder when 
is divided by is
