Question

If all the letters of the English alphabet were written on a piece of paper, over and over again, which letter would be the ten millionth letter to be written?

Answer 1

Alphabet J

Explanation:

Given

Alphabet: A - Z

Required

Determine which alphabet is at the 10 millionth position

Represent the number of alphabets with n

n = 26

To get the alphabet at the required position, we have to divide 10 million by 26 and note down the remainder

`(10000000)/(26) = 384615\ R\ 10`

The division gives, 384615 remainder 10

This implies that, the alphabet at the 10th position is the same alphabet at the 10 millionth position;

And this alphabet is J
