Find a pair of two consecutive integers, such that the s.o.d. of each of them is a multiple of 49. i.e. SOD(N)=K*49 & SOD(N+1)=L*49: (K,L integers)

Rem1: S.o.d. of a number is the sum of said number's digits.
Rem2: Only the smallest values requested.

Indeed it must end with exactly 11 9's (unless you want to go all the way to 60 9's, which takes you over the number already found), so that the next number will have the same sod mod 49. These 11 9's come to 1 mod 49, so you need to add 48 to the sod.

The smallest preface you can add to the 11 9's that ends in other than 9 is 499998, so indeed Justin's 49,999,899,999,999,999 is the smallest.
