Higher Powers of Eleven (Posted on 2017-05-24)

Let N(x) be the number 122....221 where the digit 2 occurs x times.

Twice in the past we have determined the highest power of 11 that divides N(2001) is 11^3.

What is the smallest x for N(x) to be a multiple of 11^3? What about multiples of 11^4 and 11^5?
