Multiplying a repeating 1's number by 55

Follow the following Steps:
  1. Choose a repeating 1's number (111, etc.)
  2. Multiply it by 55
  3. The product is:
    - first digit is 6
    - next digits are repeating 1's, two fewer than repeating 1's in the original number
    - last two digits are 05.

   Example:1

  1. If the first number is 1111:
  2. Multiply by 55. The product is:
    first digit is 6: 6
    next digits are 1's - two fewer than 1's: 11
    last two digits are 05
  3. So 1111 × 55 = 61105.
      Example:2
  1. If the first number is 111111:
  2. Multiply by 55. The product is:
    first digit is 6: 6
    next digits are 1's, two fewer than 1's: 1111
    last two digits are 05
  3. So 111111 × 55 = 6111105.
