Two solutions shown here. I believe there is an infinite number, but I don't know how to prove it yet.
105,263,157,894,736,842 turns into 052,631,578,947,368,421 when you move the first digit to the end.
(No one said that the second digit could not be zero).
210,526,315,789,473,684 turns into 105,263,157,894,736,842
HOW I FOUND SOLUTIONS:
Let be the first digit
The number will be where is another natural number
Moving the first digit to the end yields the number
--> --> --> -->
Obviously, cannot be a multiple of 19,
so must be a multiple of 19.
where is another natural number
-->
Computer and calculator did not help, so I took paper and pencil.
I started dividing 1 divided by 19.
I knew it would be a repeating decimal, and I only needed to get to the 18th digit.
I was looking for a remainder of 2.
I got to
and the remainder digit was 2.
Multiplying it all by we get
with a remainder of 2,
which means
So I found my
substituted into means
