In case anyone didn't get the "due to Wilson's theorem" lines, it is probably easier to write
1 0 0 7 ! = − ( − 1 0 0 7 ! ) ≡ − ( 1 0 0 9 − 1 ) ( 1 0 0 7 ! ) ≡ − 1 0 0 8 ! ≡ − ( − 1 ) ≡ 1 ( m o d 1 0 0 9 )
yes this is a correct methods
this is exactly what I did :D
I use the fact that if n = d q + r for 0 ≤ r < d , then x d − 1 x n − 1 = ( x d − 1 ) f ( x ) + x d − 1 x r − 1 , for some polynomial f ( x ) .
I also use k = 0 ∑ n − 1 x k = x − 1 x n − 1 .
Thus, k = 0 ∑ 1 0 0 8 1 0 k k = 0 ∑ 1 0 0 7 ! + 1 1 0 k = 1 0 1 0 0 9 − 1 1 0 1 0 0 7 ! + 2 − 1 = ( 1 0 1 0 0 9 − 1 ) ⋅ f ( 1 0 ) + 1 0 1 0 0 9 − 1 1 0 r − 1 .
It turns out that 1 0 0 9 is prime, so by Wilson's theorem, 1 0 0 8 ! = − 1 mod 1 0 0 9 , so 1 0 0 7 ! + 2 = 3 mod 1 0 0 9 . Therefore, r = 3 , so 1 0 1 0 0 9 − 1 1 0 r − 1 = 1 0 1 0 0 9 − 1 1 0 3 − 1 = k = 0 ∑ 1 0 0 8 1 0 k 1 0 2 + 1 0 + 1 ,
So k = 0 ∑ 1 0 0 7 ! + 1 1 0 k = 1 0 2 + 1 0 + 1 = 1 1 1 mod k = 0 ∑ 1 0 0 8 1 0 k

Note that the first sum is a string of 1 0 0 7 ! + 2 1's, and the second is a string of 1 0 0 9 1's.
We can group the 1's in the first sum together into strings of 1 0 0 9 , in however fashion we like. Thus, we start from the left, taking off 1 0 0 9 1's at a time. This is equivalent to taking 1 0 0 7 ! + 2 ( m o d 1 0 0 9 ) , trying to find how many digits are left at the end.
Because
1 0 0 8 ! = ( 1 0 0 9 − 1 ) ! ≡ − 1 ( m o d 1 0 0 9 )
due to Wilson's theorem, and
1 0 0 8 ! = ( 1 0 0 9 − 1 ) × 1 0 0 7 ! ≡ − 1 0 0 7 ! ( m o d 1 0 0 9 )
it is then the case that
1 0 0 7 ! + 2 ≡ 1 + 2 ≡ 3 ( m o d 1 0 0 9 )
Since there are 3 1's left over, our remainder is 1 1 1 .
