[Community Question] Algebra-Precalculus: working with traded numbers

One of our user asked:

A man want 762 by a number, but he trade it and its quotient result 13 and its rest was 13. What the quotient and rest of the original number? $$ q = ?; r=? $$ $$ 762 = q \cdot \overline{ ab } + r $$ $$ 762 = 13 \cdot \overline {ba} + 21 $$

Another way to write this is: $$ \frac{762-r}{ \overline{ba}}=r $$ $$ \frac{762-21}{ \overline{ba}}=13 $$

[Community Question] Linear-algebra: non-negative matrix satisfying two conditions

One of our user asked: A real matrix $B$ is called non-negative if every entry is non-negative. We will denote this by $B\ge 0$ . I want to find a non-negative matrix $B$ satisfying the following two conditions: (1) $(I-B)^{-1}$ exists but not non-negative. Here $I$ is the identity matrix. (2) There is a non-zero and non-negative vector $\vec{d}$ such that $(I-B)^{-1}\vec{d}\ge 0$ . I tried all the $2\times 2$ matrices, but it did not work. I conjecture that such a $B$ does not exist, but don't know how to prove it.

Order of elements of the Prüfer groups $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty})$

Let $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty})$ be defined by $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty}) = \{ \overline{a/b} \in \mathbb{Q}/ \mathbb{Z} / a,b \in \mathbb{Z}, b=p^i$ $ with$ $ i \in \mathbb{N} \}$ , I wish show that any element in $\mathbb{Z}(p^{\infty})$ has order $p^n$ with $n \in \mathbb{N}$ . i try several ways but I have not been successful, some help ?? thank you
