1,034,482,758,620,689,655,172,413,793 Figuring this from right to left is one method: 3 x 3 + 0 = (0)9 9 x 3 + 0 = (2)7 7 x 3 + 2 = (2)3 3 x 3 + 2 = (1)1 1 x 3 + 1 = (0)4 continuing on until: 3 x 3 + 1 = (1)0 0 x 3 + 1 = (0)1 1 x 3 + 0 = (0)3 Since we are at (0)3, we are back where we started from, so this must be the answer.
