Calculation:

Let the three digits be P, Q, and R.

Then, the number = PQRPQR

​According to the concept,

P × 100000 + Q × 10000 + R × 1000 + P × 100 + Q × 10 + R × 1 = PQRPQR

⇒ 100100P + 10010Q + 1001R = PQRPQR

⇒ 1001(100P + 10Q + R) = PQRPQR

⇒ PQRPQR = 1001 × k (letting (100P + 10Q + R) = k)

Hence, the number is divisible by 1001.

∴ Any six-digit number that is formed by repeating a three-digit number, is always divisible by 1001.
