here is the problem:
1. what is the remainder if 11...1 is divided by 1001? (the dividend has 1000 1's)
this is what i did (please tell me if there is any other methods of doing it):
[tex]11...1[/tex]
[tex]=10^{999} + 10^{998} + \cdots + 10^{0}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{10^{999} - 1}{9}[/tex]
i noticed that
[tex]1000 = 10^{3} \equiv -1 \left(\bmod 1001\right)[/tex]
[tex]10^{6} \equiv 1 \left(\bmod 1001\right)[/tex]
[tex]10^{996} \equiv 1 \left(\bmod 1001\right)[/tex]
[tex]10^{996}.10^{4} \equiv 10^{4} \equiv 991 \left(\bmod 1001\right)[/tex]
[tex]10^{1000} - 1 \equiv 990 \left(\bmod 1001\right)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{10^{999} - 1}{9} \equiv 110 \left(\bmod 1001\right)[/tex]
is there any problem in my method? is there any other easier way of doing it?
