Divisibility (AIME / USAJMO / AMO)

Proof-style AIME / USAJMO / AMO statements — develop a full argument; type only the final answer.

Proof track: treat each problem as a full olympiad writeup on paper. Here you only enter the final answer (integer or short expression).

Divisibility: core idea

Valuations.

Example problem: hint and answer

**(Proof track.)** Give a complete justification. Prove the digit criterion applies and find the smallest aa with 8a378a37 divisible by 99.

Hint: State the congruence or counting principle used at each step. Answer: 0.
