Any time you want a bunch of variables with similar meanings, use an
list (or an array in most other languages) instead. It makes it
clearer what the relationship between the variables is, and it also
makes it much easier to extend the code (for instance, what if you
want to add another digit?)

  a + 10*b == 0 (mod 2) => a is even
  a + 10*b + ... + 10^4*e == 0 (mod 5) => a is 0 or 5

Therefore, a is 0, so only considering digits 1-9 is a mistake.

So, something like this is probably what you want...

for n in range(10 ** 5, 10 ** 6):
    digits = map(int, str(n))
    ... test digits
