Nice solution. It makes it so simple in understanding the problem. Thank you for posting it.
I thought the answer was 49. What I didn't realize was that there were twelve exclusions.
1 0 0 0 0 6 3 ⟹ 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 ≡ 6 3 ( m o d n ) ≡ 0 ( m o d n )
This means 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 is divisible by n or n is a factor of 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 . Since 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 = 2 6 5 6 , there are ( 6 + 1 ) ( 6 + 1 ) = 4 9 factors.
Out of these 49 factors, 1 0 0 0 0 6 3 m o d = { 6 3 − n 6 3 if n < 6 3 if n > 6 3 .
Since factors smaller than 63 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 5, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, a total of 12. Therefore, the number of n that gives a remainder of 63 is 4 9 − 1 2 = 3 7 .

1,000,063 = 1 0 6 + 63,
So if 1,000,063 number divided by other number(n) to get remainder =63,
The number should be multiple of 1 0 6 and must be greater than 63,
So as 1 0 6 = 2 6 . 5 6 ,
So number of divisors for 1 0 6 = 7(7) = 49.
now we have to exclude 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 8 , 1 6 , 3 2 , 1 0 , 2 0 , 2 5 , 4 0 , 5 0 (since they are greater than 63),
So we get total number of values of n = 49 - 12 = 37.
