Interview question of the week

Last time, I had you make a Christmas tree function!

My favorite solution was from @StewartUlm, and you can see it here. 

This week’s question:
Given a number n, find whether all digits of n divide it.

For example:

digitsDivide(128)
> true
digitsDivide(130)
> false
digitsDivide(4)
> true

Joke

What did Spartacus do to the cannibal who ate his nagging wife?
Nothing, he’s gladiator.
