Cunundrum: displacing the last digit at the beginning of an integer to double it.



A is an integer with n digits                                  ex. 4519	n = 4

y is the integer formed by the n-1 first digits of A               451

x is the last digit                                                   9

A = 10y + x

B is the number with the last digit of A, x, shifted in front = 10n-1x + y    9451

We need 2A = B

  2 ( 10y + x ) = 10n-1x + y 



  19y = (10n-1 - 2 )x



 y = (10n-1 - 2 )x 

        19



As x / 19 is a fraction, 10n-1 – 2 must be divisible by 19 to get an integer for y.

10n-1n-1 – 2 = 999999…..8

Trying 99, 999, 9999, , , till the modulo equal 3 , we add a 8 to finish the operation of division with 38 / 19 = 2

The first occurrence of such a big number divisible by 19 give 99999999999999998 = 1018 – 2

  Q = ( 1018 – 2 ) / 19 = 5263157894736842

  As y = Q x , we test for each digit x from 1 to 9

  and x = 2 is the smallest x so A is accurate = 105263157894736842 

  as the smallest number solutioning this conundrum.
