Lucky seven V (Posted on 2011-09-13)

A base ten number formed by writing the digit seven precisely 2011 times is denoted by N. That is:

N = 77ЕЕ77 (2011 times).

Let us denote x = [N/9], y = [x/9] and, z = [y/9]

Determine the digital root of z.

Note: [P] denotes the greatest integer ≤ P

**** For an extra challenge, solve this puzzle without using a computer program.
