Long Division for Repunit

This is about a month from last I post blog.

I have to continuously to post something about programming or mathmatics

but these days I more concentrate on solving project euler problems and spending my whole time to think about how to solve it.

I solved it about 130 problems. solving 200 problems is my first plan.

Anyway 

Today I want to post about long division.

when we use computer language we just use division or remainder (/, %) so we don't have to know about how~ this is doing

...

when solving Project euler 129 I needed to long division.

Question is Below~

A number consisting entirely of ones is called a repunit. We shall define R(k) to be a repunit of length k; for example, R(6) = 111111.

Given that n is a positive integer and GCD(n, 10) = 1, it can be shown that there always exists a value, k, for which R(k) is divisible byn, and let A(n) be the least such value of k; for example, A(7) = 6 and A(41) = 5.

The least value of n for which A(n) first exceeds ten is 17.

Find the least value of n for which A(n) first exceeds one-million.

My step

if n is 7 

A(7) ???

to use long division 

I use below 

1 2 3 4 5 6

int x = 1; int count = 1; while(x != 0){ x = (x *10 + 1) % n count++; }

this function follow below if n is 7
x:1
count:1
#############
x:4
count:2
#############
x:6
count:3
#############
x:5
count:4
#############
x:2
count:5
#############
x:0
count:6
#############

this is pencil and paper long division.
