Problem
The integer 
is the smallest positive multiple of 
such that every digit of is either 
or 
. Compute 
.
Solution
Any multiple of 15 is a multiple of 5 and a multiple of 3.
Any multiple of 5 ends in 0 or 5; since only contains the digits 0 and 8, the units digit of must be 0.
The sum of the digits of any multiple of 3 must be divisible by 3. If has 
digits equal to 8, the sum of the digits of is 
a
a>0
n
n$must have at least three copies of the digit 8.
The smallest number which meets these two requirements is 8880. Thus the answer is$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)\frac{8880}{15} = \boxed{592}$.
