Divisible by Length (Posted on 2024-04-27) Difficulty: 3 of 5

For example, for 56165, 5 is divisible by 1, 56 is divisible by 2, 561 is divisible by 3, 5616 is divisible by 4 and 56165 is divisible by 5.

That is pretty interesting.

In fact the underperformance is about a factor of .9 up to about N=15.
I wonder if this is related to the fact that the first digit is never zero so there are only 9 choices for the first digit.
