    You can divide the numbers 111, 222, 333, 444 and 555 by 1, 3 and 111 and there will be no remainder. By what other number can you divide them by so that there is no remainder?

    		Tricky... zero?

    Dividing by zero is an illegal operation, but I don't think it would leave a remainder ...

    Oh, wait a minute. 3 into 111 goes 37 times.

    111 / 37 = 3

    222 / 37 = 6

    333 / 37 = 9

    444 / 37 = 12

    555 / 37 = 15

    It's 37 [/smug]

    		And 27 lots of 37 are 999.
    This is why 1/37 is 0.027027027...

    Is it possible to use ten digits 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 0 to construct a ten-digit number divisible (without a remainder) by all the numbers from 2 to 18?

    Take any positive whole number not greater than 50. If the number is even, divide it by two. If the number is odd, multiply it by 3, and add 1 to the result. Apply the same method to the resulting number, and continue in this way forming a chain of numbers untill you finally arrive at the number 1.Shown below is a chain of numbers that results from this method if you begin with 15: 15 - 46 - 23 - 70 - 35 - 106 - 53 - 160 - 80 - 40 - 20 - 10 - 5 - 16 - 8 - 4 - 2 - 1. As you can see, the number 15 requires 17 steps to end up at 1. Of the numbers not greater then 50, which takes the longest to reach the number 1?
