1. **Determine the modulo 9 of 229:**
229≡(26)4⋅25(mod9)
First, calculate 26mod9:
26=64and64÷9=7remainder1⇒64≡1(mod9)
Therefore,
(26)4≡14≡1(mod9)
Next, calculate 25mod9:
25=32and32÷9=3remainder5⇒32≡5(mod9)
Combining these results:
229≡1⋅5≡5(mod9)
2. **Sum of digits of 229:**
Since 229 has a 9-digit decimal representation containing all but one of the 10 decimal digits, the sum of all digits from 0 to 9 is:
0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45
Let m be the missing digit. The sum of the digits of 229 is:
45−m
3. Modulo 9 condition:
The sum of the digits of a number is congruent to the number itself modulo 9. Therefore:
45−m≡229≡5(mod9)
Solving for m:
45−m≡5(mod9)
Subtract 5 from both sides:
45−m−5≡0(mod9)
Simplify:
40−m≡0(mod9)
Therefore:
40≡m(mod9)
Since 40÷9=4 remainder 4:
40≡4(mod9)
Thus, the missing digit m is:
m=4
The final answer is 4.
