Several ways to go about it but I use text, note this will change the numbers
to text, replace "000" with total number of digits
=Text(A1,"000")

format the cell as text, you can still perform math functions on the number

If you want a leading zero, so that all numbers have
a fixed size
use Custom Format 00000 or however many digits you want
