Question F-1

A reader has suggested that I could put some questions for getting replies -so that  readers can participate more in connection with the blogs.
I am now therefore putting my fist question-
In my earlier blog I had shown the procedure for testing  numbers for divisibility by 17.I had mentioned that the procedure was worked out by me as per the fact that the number 1003 was divisible by 17.
In fact the number 1003 is the product of 17 and 59.
So the same procedure could with any alteration necessary could be applied to test the divisibility of any number by 59.
I am now giving the numbers    50364080202  and 5036402781
I suggest readers may test whether these numbers are divisible by 59.
