document.write( "    An integer number is divisible by  11  if and only if the alternate sum of its digits is divisible by  11.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );

document.write( "So, in order for the 3-digit number 41x, where x is a missed digit (or a \"hidden\" digit),  was divisible by 11, the alternate sum \r\n" );
