Find the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of 35 whose digits are all the same.

Since this puzzle corresponds to a particular case of my "Sevens And Zeroes Problem" ( http://perplexus.info/show.php?pid=4348); I underline herewith some salient hints towards a solution of this problem.<o:p></o:p>

(i) Consider that 35=5*7.<o:p></o:p>

(ii) This allows for repetitition of only one digit in terms of the problem.<o:p></o:p>

(iii) Think about the divisibility of 7 and  the associated numbers. This will immediately lead to the solution.
