(1)Is there an integer N such that 1998*N = 22222.......22222 (only the digit 2 in the expression of this number)? If so, how many digits are in N?

(2)A pocket calculator is broken. It is only possible to use the function keys: + , - , =, 1/x(inverse function). All number keys and the memory funtion work. How can we calculate the product 37 * 54? (The result is obviously 1998.)

(3)Is it true that 11111^99999 + 99999^88888 is divisible by 1998? Same question with 111111^999999 + 999999^888888 ?

111222333444555666777889*1998=222222222222222222222222222

N has 24 decimal places, the product has 27.
