RegionalProof

Decide whether the following claim is true, and prove your answer.

For every positive integer \(n\) there exists a positive integer \(x\) such that all three of the following hold: \(x\) is divisible by \(n\); the digits of \(x\) add up to \(n\); and the decimal representation of \(x\) ends with the block of digits that forms the decimal representation of \(n\).
