Following 46 only 69 is possible- later there are two possibilities:-

a: 4695769576957...6957 etc

b.    469238 .ended no 2digit  multiple of 23 or 19 starts with 8

in case a we have 1   digit (4 )  followed 503 *( 6957) and thenon 2014 th place   digit 6,  on 2015 th place 9,   answ:9 

in case b we have 1   digit (4 )  followed by  503 * (6957) and then  on 2014 th place 6,  on 2015 th place 9, and  the 2016th could be either 5 or 2

 On 2015th place, no matter what only 9 could be the answer

 On 2016th place, it could be either 5 or 2.<p>
