    For the given number n find the minimal positive integer divisable by n, with the sum of digits equal to n.
    Break it up:

    For the given number n find the minimal positive integer divisable by n.
    There's your starting point.

    Was there a purpose to that response? Is it asking for elaboration?

    I'm going to assume so.

    I'm also going to assume that this is homework. Therefore, I'm not going to give you a solution to that problem, am I?

    You asked for a starting point. I gave you a starting point. Do you need further clarification?

    Start by solving the first section of the problem. "For the given number n find the minimal positive integer divisable by n."

    If you need help with that, then ask for it. We don't do your work for you, we're here to help you on a specific problem that merits help.
