Any consecutive sequence of p q ones (for p , q positive integers) can be expressed as the product x p ∗ y p , q , where x p = ∑ i = 0 p − 1 1 0 i and and y ( p , q ) = ∑ i = 0 q 1 0 i ∗ p . Here x p is the number with p consecutive ones, while y p , q is the number with q ones, each separated by ( p − 1 ) zeros. (For example, x 3 = 1 1 1 , while y 3 , 4 = 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 .) In the problem given, 9 1 = 1 3 ∗ 7 , so the number given is the product x 9 1 = x 1 3 ∗ y 1 3 , 7 or, alternatively x 9 1 = x 7 ∗ y 7 , 1 3
