Puzzle No.1 of *19*

Hello everybody. <br>I hope I am in right place
to find answer to my question that has bee a pus
zzle for lastfew years and will be if you are not able
to solve it My mathematics knowledge is around HS My
English is second. The puzzles I understand but to solve
it we will see. I could not have any solution and
may it is due to my mathematics knowledge that is not
more than HS and years ago. Now here I hope you or
your teachers could help to find the
solution.<br><br>Puzzle No One. <br><br>1- G delivered a big container
with 114 different sized of boxes to M <br>2- All
these boxes were numbered from 1 to 114 <br>3- G
informed M that those boxes should be setup according to
new indexing number. M died before he could do that
but his fiends did it according to instruction left
over by M <br>The had to relocate all boxes and put
back in new order. But one of them made a new indexing
showing the old and new order . <br>For example 5 for 1
87 for 2 89 for 3 92 for 4 …… and 21 for 114 the
last one.

122011321114 <br><br>Centuries past until human could manage
his science and knowledge by help of mathematics to
create such creature ( computer) to be able to calculate
figures with many digits that we do not have any term or
name of for them. <br><br>Recently a searcher
considered those numbers next to each other as one figure.
WOW. So many digits <br> Is not readable ! But this
creature ( computer) could read it and we can do all kinds
of mathematical functions using that figure . At
this time all we need is /*-+ . How ever this person
considered it one figure and divide it by 19. He found that
it is multiple of 19.<br>So many

?<br>I have asked same question and
have been satisfied with response. <br>Now my problem
is that I do not know how G could setup such

multiple of 19 .<br>I would like to see if you can help
and post any formula or equation have been used.
