Let
n = 3 9 9 0 0 … 0 7
To prove that n is divisible by 3 7 I'll use two numbers that are clearly divisible by 3 7 .
Let's consider
a = 3 7 + 3 7 0 + 3 7 0 0 + … + 3 7 9 9 0 0 … 0 = 4 9 8 1 1 … 1 0 7 = 3 7 ⋅ 1 0 0 1 1 … 1
and
b = 9 9 1 1 … 1 0 0 = 1 1 1 ⋅ 3 3 times the string 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 … 1 0 0 = 3 7 ⋅ 3 3 times the string 3 0 0 3 0 0 3 0 0 … 3 0 0
We can see that n = a − b so n is divisible by 3 7 so the remainder is R = 0
The quotient is
1 0 0 1 1 … 1 − 3 3 times the string 3 0 0 3 0 0 3 0 0 … 3 0 0 = 3 2 times the string 8 1 0 8 1 0 8 1 0 … 8 1 0 8 1 0 8 1 1
Thus the answer is
a b c d e f g h i + R + 1 = 8 1 0 8 1 0 8 1 0 + 0 + 1 = 8 1 0 8 1 0 8 1 1
