Find all three-digit numbers overlineabc such that 6003 digit number overlineabcabcabc.....abc is divisible by 91?




Find all three-digit numbers ¯abc such that 6003 digit number ¯abcabcabc......abc is divisible by 91?Here ¯abc occurs 2001 times.I know the divisibility rule for 91 which states to subtract 9 times the last digit from the rest and, for large numbers,to form the alternating sum of blocks of three numbers from right to left. However, I am not able to see how I could apply this rule to determine the numbers ¯abc. How can I solve this?


Answer



The given number can be written as follows,



abc(1+103+106++106000)



Now, 91|1001=1+103 . The sum S=1+103+106++106000 has 2001 terms, therefore, 91 and (1+103)+106(1+103)++101999(1+103)+106000 are relatively prime abc is a multiple of 91.



Therefore, the required numbers are 91×n , where n=2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 i.e., the required numbers are :




182,273,364,455,546,637,728,819 and 910
