Let's look at the 1 , 11 , 111 , 1111 , 1, 11, 111, 1111, \dots sequence. Let x x be the number we are talking about. Since the sequence is infinite long, and x x is finite, there will be two item in the sequence which make the same remainder when it is divided by x x (Let a n a_n and a k a_k be these numbers). So a n a k |a_n-a_k| wil contain only 0 0 's and 1 1 's and it will be divisible by x x .
