The positive integer formed after writing kk consecutive positive integers from smallest to largest is called a kcontinuousk-\text{continuous} number. For example 9910010199100101 is a 3continuous3-\text{continuous} number. Prove that: for N\forall N, kZ+k\in\mathbb Z^+, there must be a kcontinuousk-\text{continuous} number that can be divisible by NN.
