Consider a matrix whose entries are integers. Adding a same integer to all entries on a same row, or on a same column, is called an operation. It is given that, for infinitely many positive integers $n$, one can obtain, through a finite number of operations, a matrix having all entries divisible by $n$. Prove that, through a finite number of operations, one can obtain the null matrix.
