5, 05, 00005 and 000000000000000000000000000005 are *all the same number*, and
they are stored in the same way (binary 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000101 if
it matters).
If you want to store leading zeros and make a distinction between values with
and without leading zeroes then you must store the data in a Text field, not a
Number.
