111111111111 (twelve ones)

111111111111 /11= 101010101

111111111111 /111 = 1001001001

111111111111 /1111= 100010001

111111111111 /111111= 1000001

It seems that: a number composed by n digits "one" is divisible by any other number composed by m digits "one" if, and only if, m is a divisor of n. 

In our case we have two numbers n1 and n2 with 240 and 150 digits.

240 (n1) is divisible by  (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 40, 48, 60, 80, 120)

150 (n2) is divisible by  (2, 3, 5, 6,10, 15, 25, 30, 50, 75)

gdc=30
