Answer:

111111

Explanation:

Digit 1: This can be any digit as all numbers are divisible by 1. I picked 1 because it was simplest.

Digit 2: The total needs to be divisible by 2, so I picked my total to be 2. I knew I already had 1 from the previous digit, so 2-1 =1 was my next digit.

Digit 3: The total must be divisible by 3, so I picked my total to be 3. I already had 2 from the two previous digits, so 3-1 = 1 was my next digit.

I hope you get the idea now, it follows the same pattern for the rest of the numbers.

Hopefully this helps, any questions let me know :)
