Same Digit in First and Last Place Values

Algebra Level 3

Let n n be an integer that has the same digit appearing in its first and last place values. The rest are zeroes.

404 , 1001 , 7000007 , . . . 404, 1001, 7000007, ...

Is there a value of n n that is divisible to all digits except for 5 5 and 0 0 ?

For n n to be divisible by 8 8 , the last three digits must be a multiple of 8 8 . Thus n n must end with 8 8 .

For n n to be divisible by 9 9 , the sum of all the digits n n has must be a multiple of 9 9 . But if we apply the statement in the first paragraph, the sum will always be 16 16 which is not a multiple of 9 9 .

Therefore, n n can't be a number divisible by all digits except for 5 5 and 0 0

Replace "factor" by "multiple" in first paragraph. Otherwise fine.
