11*101*10001*100000001*10000000000000001*100000000000000000000000000000001...
If factor number m has n zeros, then factor number m+1 will have 2n+1 zeros.
11*101= 1111
11*101*10001= 11111111
11*101*10001*100000001= 1111111111111111
11*101*10001*100000001*10000000000000001= 11111111111111111111111111111111
Will the product always be repuit (natural numbers where all the digits are 1)?
If it is the case, then what's the reason for that?
11 = 10 + 1 = 10^1 + 1
101 = 10^2 + 1
11 x 101 = (10^1 + 1)(10^2 + 1)= 10^3 + 10^2 + 10^1 + 1
(The problem starts with 11 -- which is 10^1 + 1 -- Now mutiplying by 10^2 results in new terms -- 10^3 + 10^2 -- which are just larger than the old terms (which are saved by multiplying by 1) )
10001 = 10^4 + 1
11 x 101 x 1001 = (10^3 + 10^2 + 10^1 + 1) x (10^4 + 1) = 10^7 + 10^6 + 10^5 + 10^4 + 10^3 + 10^2 + 10^1 + 1
(The old answer was 1111 = 10^3 + 10^2 + 10^1 + 1 -- Now multiplying by 10^4 results in the new terms -- 10^7 + 10^6 + 10^5 + 10^4 -- which are just larger than the old terms 10^3 + 10^2 + 10^1 + 1 (which are saved by multiplying by 1) )
So, if we multiply by a number -- a power of ten that results in sufficiently new terms -- we will get an answer that begins with only 1s and if we then append to that the old terms by multiplying the old terms by 1, we will get an answer that has only 1s.
The necessary power of ten in the new factor is detemined by your requirement for the number of zeroes.
Yes, the product will always be repuit; I don't know the answer, but there must be one because anomalies do not occur very often in science/math. I am curious what the answer is now.
11 = 10 + 1 = 10^1 + 1
101 = 10^2 + 1
11 x 101 = (10^1 + 1)(10^2 + 1)= 10^3 + 10^2 + 10^1 + 1
(The problem starts with 11 -- which is 10^1 + 1 -- Now mutiplying by 10^2 results in new terms -- 10^3 + 10^2 -- which are just larger than the old terms (which are saved by multiplying by 1) )
10001 = 10^4 + 1
11 x 101 x 1001 = (10^3 + 10^2 + 10^1 + 1) x (10^4 + 1) = 10^7 + 10^6 + 10^5 + 10^4 + 10^3 + 10^2 + 10^1 + 1
(The old answer was 1111 = 10^3 + 10^2 + 10^1 + 1 -- Now multiplying by 10^4 results in the new terms -- 10^7 + 10^6 + 10^5 + 10^4 -- which are just larger than the old terms 10^3 + 10^2 + 10^1 + 1 (which are saved by multiplying by 1) )
