Not bad

What’s the smallest number that is divisible by 225 such that its decimal representation must consist of 1's and 0's only.

Clarification : You need to use both 0's and 1's.


The answer is 11111111100.

It takes a really extensive computer search to go through over ten billion numbers to find this one.

Or, since 225 = 9 x 25, use divisibility rules for 9 to get 11111111100. Eh.

What about 0?

or 1+1+1+1 .... +1 = 225?

True. Akshat should have specified a non-trivial number with only 1 1 s and 0 0 s as digits.
