A fifty digit positive integer satisfies all these given conditions:
- The number is constituted entirely by the digit 1 with the exception of the units digit.
- The number is divisible by 53.
Determine the units digit.
Extra Challenge: Solve this puzzle without using a computer-assisted method.

Since 9 and 53 don't share a factor you can still skip the computer:
10^50-1=43=-63
(10^50-1)/9=-7=46
7 more is 53, 1+7=8 for the last digit.
