Powers of ten, mod 1 3 , make cycle of length 6 . the members of the cycle are 1 , − 3 , − 4 , − 1 , 3 , 4 .
The weird number can be written as below.
( 1 ) ( 2 5 ) × 1 0 2 5 + x × 1 0 2 4 + ( 1 ) ( 2 4 )
where the notation ( 1 ) ( n ) is basically the digit 1 , written n times in a row. x is the wanted single-digit number.
If n in ( 1 ) ( n ) is a multiple of 6 , then ( 1 ) ( n ) is divisible by 1 3 . So, ( 1 ) ( 2 4 ) is zero, modulo 1 3 and ( 1 ) ( 2 5 ) is 1 , modulo 1 3 .
For powers of ten, the exponent is taken modulo 6 and the corresponding answer is taken from the list 1 , − 3 , − 4 , − 1 , 3 , 4 .
Therefore,
( 1 ) ( 2 5 ) × 1 0 2 5 + x × 1 0 2 4 + ( 1 ) ( 2 4 ) = 1 × − 3 + x × 1 + 0 m o d 1 3

13 divides 111111. So up to 24 digits 13 divides the number . From 26th digit to 50th digit 13 divides it. So 13 should divide the 25th and 26th digit hence 26th digit is 3
