There is a Multiple of Every Integer With Digits Consisting Only of Zero and Ones

Every integer has a multiple whose digits are only 0's and 1's.
Suppose  
\[n=2^r5^sm, \; r, \; s \ge 0, \; gcd(n,10)=1\]
. There exists a repunit (a number all of whose digits are 1's) equal to some multiple of  
\[m\]
, say  
\[km\]
  - Proof that p Divides the Repunit R_p If we can find some further multiple that equalises the powers of 2 and 5, so that  
\[km\]
  is multiplied by some power of 10, the resulting number will be the repunit  
\[kn\]
  with a number of 0's appended.
Let  
\[t= max \{ r, s\} . \]
  Then  
\[(2^{t-r} 5^{t-s})kn=10^tkm\]
  is a suitable multiple.
