Mistake

The smallest number which, when $1$ is placed at both ends, the number is multiplied by $99$.

Correction

There is a transcription error in the $5$th digit from the end: it should be $5$ not $3$.

The correct number is $112,359,550,561,797,752,809$.

See that:

$112,359,550,561,797,732,809 \times 99 = 11,123,595,505,617,975,548,091$
