3(10na+x)=(10x+a)
a(3.10n-1)=7x
so we need to find n such that 3x10n-1 is a multiple of 7...
then it is a peice of cake :)
a similar trick manish told me long time back.. that was applicable for a simpler such question...
so far so good..my main point iis .. This number is too peculiar First of all arranging the number cyclically gives multiples of the preceeding number and 1/7 = 0.142857... 142857 is the exact answer.. what is happeneing ?? what is the connection with 1/7
somehow, this qn was on my mind too. I had the same solution as Nishant ans wondered if this meant was a simpler way to get at this result
Find the smallest possible number such that if the Last digit is removed and placed at the start the new number becomes the Twice of the original Number?
Suppose
a.............bx is the original number
then
xa............b = 2 a............bx
Find a.............bx ?
If luv is d answer can u plz repeat d question
1001 is a multiple of 7....
look at 1/13 = 0.0769230769230769230769230....
769230 , 076923, 307692, 230769, 923076 and 692307
These are cyclic and are all multiples of 076923 (I havent seen all of them to be true.. just the first one and the 3rd one :P)
I Hope justification enuf satya ;)
