 For n = 11111 To 99999
   ns = Str$(n)
   If InStr(ns, "0") = 0 Then
    prev = n
    good = 1
    For i = 1 To 4
      ns = Mid(ns, 2)
      newn = Val(ns)
      If prev Mod newn <> 0 Then
       good = 0: Exit For
      End If
      prev = newn
    Next
    If good Then Text1.Text = Text1.Text & Str(n) & crlf: goodCt = goodCt + 1
   End If
 Next
 
finds 

 53125
 91125
 95625
3

so there are 3 such values.
