We have 6(s) = 191 and 4(s + 1) = 19t for some positive integers w and £. So 9r—1 =
1(u 1) = 18(u—t) + (w— 2),
Therefore u— + 1 = 9v for some integer v. Substituting this in the previous equation,
we obtain Or — 1 = 19(9v ~ 1), hence r = 197 —2. To have as few digits as possible in
s.r must be minimal. So v= 1, hence r= 17.
Also 19(u~ t) = 9 x 17 — 1 = 152, hence wt = 8, Since t > 0, we have u > 8. IP

By the choice of r the digit immediately to the left of those 93 cannot be 9. Hence the
smallest value of s satisfying the conditions of the problem is 198 followed by 17 9s. So
the number of digits in s is 20.
