Let's say it is abcdefghijklmnopqr.  Then do the addition to itself -and the answer should be rabcdefghijklmnopq  abcdefghijklmnopqr+abcdefghijklmnopqr------------------------  rabcdefghijklmnopqObviously we know a = 1 (we look for the smallest number and a cannot be zero)Then we know r = 2 (or at least 2 if there's no carry). Lets assume r = 2So replacing r by 2 this becomes...  abcdefghijklmnopq2+abcdefghijklmnopq2-------------------------  2abcdefghijklmnopqNow we know q = 4... replace all q by 4  abcdefghijklmnop42+abcdefghijklmnop42-------------------------  2abcdefghijklmnop4So p = 8  and then continue the same operations to fill up the rest. Remember to take the carry over.You will arrive at the answer  105263157894736842</blockquote>
