Apr 20, 2012 at 15:25 comment added Fedor Petrov @Seva: if $n=10^{M+k}x+y$, where $y$ has less then $k$ digits, and $a$ less then $M$ digits, then $s(na)=s(xa)+s(ya)$. Apply this for all portions of consecutive zeros Fedja is telling about.
Apr 20, 2012 at 14:40 comment added Seva Sorry - I cannot follow, starting from the sentence "$M$ zeroes will control the transfers ...". If you happen to feel a little more serious about your answer, would you kindly try to add some explanations?
