I'm sorry there's an algebra error below, but fortunately the proof still works. It should be >From this, algebra provides 10^e - 1 == 0 (mod 9Y) and 10^e == 1 (mod 9Y). But 9Y and 10^e are still coprime, so we're good. Here is code that seems to be working fine. #include int main(int argc, c

This is very beautiful. Here is a less elegant proof, though it leads to an efficient algorithm. In a different problem some time ago, there was a statement that every number with a 3 in the units position has a multiple that consists of all 1s. The proof needs a little number theory. Any numbe

Theorem: In any set of (n+1) distinct integers there exists two whose difference is divisible by n. Proof: Each of these integers leaves a remainder between 0 and n-1 inclusive upon division by n. Since there are n possible remainders and (n+1) integers that means there exist two which have the sa
