A
There are 8 letters in GOEAGLES. When you divide 500 by 8, the remainder is 4. So it's the 4th letter along - A.

The letter A would be in the 500th spot, because if the sequence "GOEAGLES" is repeated 63 times that's 504 letters and then you can count backwards from S as number 504, therefore 'A' would be in the 500th spot.

GOEAGLES has 8 letters
how many time will you find the word in full before finding the one that has the 500th positions ? you have to find the integer division of 500 by 8
500 ¦ 8
-----------
20 ¦ 62
4
you will therefore find 62 full word before you reach the one with the 500th position, and the rest of your division give you the position, i.e. 4th position in the word.
the letter is A

500 = 8 * 62 + 4,
so it would be the fourth letter (A) in the 63th time the word is repeated.
