May be I should reframe the question.

How do you prove there isn't a system of numbers to base N where it doesn't work?

Thanks,
Robert

   There's a reasonably good discussion of this here:

I probably should know this...

So when you rearrange the digits of a number (>9) and take the difference, it 
is divisible by nine.  A result that sometimes points to accounting errors.  If 
the numbers are not base 10 the result is divisible by (base-1).

What is the associated theorem for this?

Thanks
Robert
