Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
The repeating block is $123456789$, which has 9 digits. Since , 37 divides , and consequently it divides any number made of a block of 3 repeating digits. Thus, 37 divides $123123123$ or $111111111$. It is a known property that , but a simpler approach uses modular arithmetic. Since , the number's value modulo 37 is the sum of its 3-digit blocks. The 100 digits consist of 11 full 9-digit blocks and 1 extra digit ('1'). Sum of blocks mod 37 reduces everything gracefully to just the leftover digits at the top powers, resulting in a remainder of 1.
