A Palindrome is a number which can be read the same way backwards e.g. 141, 232, 33, 54645, 78987, 4 ,5,6,7,and so on.

I find palindromes very interesting and theres is a question I'm totally lost in. Show or prove that any number except numbers dividable by 10 has a multiple which is a palindrome?

So every number which can be divided by 10 doesnt have a multiple which is a palindrome for example 10 but every other number has a multiple which is a palindrome e.g. 2 has the multiple 22 which is a palindrome. Does any one know how to show or prove that every number other than the number which can be divided by 10 has a multiple which is a palindrome? I just dont know how to approach the matter.

I hope you can help me or give me hints.
Thank you,
Hannah!
