In base 1010, the number 20132013 ends in the digit 33. In base 99, on the other hand, the same number is written as (2676)9(2676)_{9} and ends in the digit 66. For how many values of bb does the base-bb-representation of 20132013 end in the digit 33?
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
In base 10, the number 2013 ends in the digit 3.  In base 9, on the other hand, the same number is written as (2676)₉ and ends in the digit 6.  For how many values of b does the base-b-representation of 2013 end in the digit 3?
