Can divisibility rules for digits be generalized to sum of digits












2












$begingroup$


Suppose that we are given a two digit number $AB$, where $A$ and $B$ represents the digits, i.e 21 would be A=2 , B=1. I wish to prove that the sum of $AB$ and $BA$ is always divisible by $11$.
My initial idée was to use the fact that if a number is divisible by $11$ then the sum of its digits with alternating sign is also divisible by 11. For example
$$1-2+3-3+2-1=0 $$
so $11$ divides $123321$. So my proof would then be to consider the two digit number $(A+B)(B+A)$ or $CC$ which clearly is divisible by $11$ by the above statement if $C$ is $1$ through $9$. However, I am having truble justifying the case were $A+B$ is greater than or equal to $10$ and it got me wondering if the more generel is true: Let $ABCD...$ be a $n-digit$ number, if $$A-B+C-... equiv 0 (mod 11)$$
then $$S=sum_{k=1}^{n}(A+B+C+...)10^{k} equiv0(mod 11)$$
I am not really familliar with the whole congruence thingy, so incase the above is trivial I would be greatful on some source which could aid the solving of the above . Any tips or suggestion are also very welcome

    Use pmod{11} to produce $pmod{11}$. So aequiv bpmod{11} produces $aequiv bpmod{11}$.

More generally, recall that the radix $rm,b,$ digit string $rm d_n cdots d_1 d_0 $ denotes a polynomial expression $rm P(b) = d_n b^n +:cdots: + d_1 b + d_0,, $ where $rm P(x) = d_n x^n +cdots+ d_1 x + d_0., $ Recall the reversed (digits) polynomial is $rm {bf tilde {rm P}}(x) = x^n P(1/x).,$ If $rm:n:$ is odd the Polynomial Congruence Rule yields $$rm: mod b!+!1: color{#c00}{bequiv -1} Rightarrow {bf tilde {rm P}}(b) = color{#c00}b^n P(1/color{#c00}b) equiv (color{#c00}{-1})^n P(color{#c00}{-1})equiv {-}P(-1),:$$ therefore we conclude that $rm P(b) + {bf tilde {rm P}}(b)equiv P(-1)-P(-1)equiv 0.,$ OP is case $rm,b=10, n=1$.



Remark $ $ Essentially we have twice applied the radix $rm,b,$ analog of casting out elevens (the analog of casting out nines).

    It's simpler than you are making it...and no congruences are needed:



    We have $$overline {AB}=10A+B quad &quad overline {BA}=10B+A$$



    It follows that $$overline {AB}+overline {BA}=11times (A+B)$$ and we are done.

    You can easily push through what you were trying though. Say your numbers are $AB$ and $BA$. If $A+Bgt 10$, then write it as $A+B=10+c$; note that $0leq cleq 8$, because two digits cannot add to $19$. That means that when you do the carry, the second digit is $(c+1)$, and so $AB+BA$ will be a three digit number: $1$, then $c+1$, and then $c$. At this point, your test gives you $1-(c+1)+c = 0$, so you get a multiple of $11$.

                      How to label and detect the document text images

                      Image
                      1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C

                      Tabula Rosettana

                      Image
                      Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit. Denique textum plene interpretatus est Ioannes Franciscus Champollion. Ab opere eruditorum cumulativo coepit hodiernus scripturae hieroglyphicae linguaeque Aegyptiae a
