The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the number formed by writing one digit six times. Let's denote the digit as \( d \). The number formed by repeating the digit \( d \) six times can be expressed mathematically as: \[ N = d \times 111111 \] Now, we need to find out the divisibility of \( N \) by the given options: 7, 11, 13, or all of these. ### Step 1: Understanding the number 111111 The number \( 111111 \) can be expressed as: \[ 111111 = 100000 + 10000 + 1000 + 100 + 10 + 1 \] ### Step 2: Factorizing 111111 To check the divisibility of \( 111111 \), we can factor it. We can also express \( 111111 \) in terms of powers of 10: \[ 111111 = \frac{10^6 - 1}{9} \] This is because \( 10^6 - 1 \) gives us \( 999999 \), which is \( 9 \times 111111 \). ### Step 3: Finding the prime factorization of \( 111111 \) Now, we need to find the prime factors of \( 111111 \): 1. First, we can check if \( 111111 \) is divisible by \( 3 \): - The sum of the digits of \( 111111 \) is \( 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 6 \), which is divisible by \( 3 \). - Thus, \( 111111 \) is divisible by \( 3 \). 2. Dividing \( 111111 \) by \( 3 \): \[ 111111 \div 3 = 37037 \] 3. Now we check \( 37037 \): - The sum of the digits of \( 37037 \) is \( 3 + 7 + 0 + 3 + 7 = 20 \), which is not divisible by \( 3 \). - Check for \( 7 \): \[ 37037 \div 7 = 5289 \] 4. Next, we check \( 5289 \): - The sum of the digits is \( 5 + 2 + 8 + 9 = 24 \), which is divisible by \( 3 \). - Dividing \( 5289 \) by \( 3 \): \[ 5289 \div 3 = 1763 \] 5. Now we check \( 1763 \): - Check for \( 13 \): \[ 1763 \div 13 = 135 \] 6. Finally, we check \( 135 \): - \( 135 = 3 \times 45 \) and \( 45 = 3 \times 15 \) and \( 15 = 3 \times 5 \). ### Final Factorization Thus, the complete factorization of \( 111111 \) is: \[ 111111 = 3^3 \times 7 \times 13 \] ### Conclusion Since \( N = d \times 111111 \), and \( 111111 \) is divisible by \( 7 \), \( 11 \), and \( 13 \), we can conclude that the number formed by writing one digit six times is always divisible by \( 7 \), \( 11 \), and \( 13 \). Thus, the answer is: **All of these (7, 11, 13)**.
