Teacher wrote a large number of 5 0 digits consisting of only 1 s on the board for some reason. But he forgot to write the digit at 2 6 t h position from the right. A trick came to his head to hide his mistake. He asked the students what was the missing digit provided that the 5 0 digit number is divisible by 1 3 ?

Let's look at the value of a 1 in each position. We work (mod 13) all the time here. 1 0 0 = 1 , 1 0 1 = 1 0 , 1 0 2 = 9 , 1 0 3 = 1 0 × 9 = 1 2 , 1 0 4 = 1 0 × 1 2 = 3 , 1 0 5 = 1 0 × 3 = 4 , 1 0 6 = 1 0 × 4 = 1 . This pattern repeats every 6 positions, so the value of the digit at position 26 has the same value as the digit at position 2, which is 10.
A number of consisting of 50 1's has value 8 × ( 1 + 1 0 + 9 + 1 2 + 3 + 4 ) + 1 + 1 0 = 1 1 , so with a 0 at position 26 we have 1 1 − 1 0 = 1 .We need to add 12 to that to get a 0.
Since 9 × 1 0 = 9 0 = 1 2 , we need a 9 at that position.
1 1 1 1 1 1 is the least all 1 containing number which is divisible by 1 3 . So the left part of missing number consists 2 4 1 s . As 2 4 is a multiple of 6 ,the left part or precisely 2 4 1s are divisible by 1 3 . So, same as this the 2 4 1 s from right is also divisible by 1 3 . Only left one 1 in 2 5 t h position from right and the missing digit in 2 6 t h position from right. So, the missing number is 9 ,because 9 1 is the only two–digit number consisting 1 in its unit position. So, answer is 9 .

The number is × 2 4 1 1 1 . . . . 1 m × 2 5 1 1 1 . . . . 1 1 1
1 0 0 1 = 7 × 1 1 × 1 3
So, 1 1 1 1 1 1 = 1 0 0 1 × 1 1 1 is also divisible by 1 3
This means that 6 consecutive 1 are divisible by 1 3
So, 2 4 ( 6 × 4 ) 1 's are also divisible by 1 3
So, both left and right of middle 2 digits are divisible by 1 3
This means that middle two digits also must be divisible by 1 3 to make the given number divisible by 1 3
So, m 1 is divisible by 1 3
So, m = 9
