Which six digit number when multiplied by 2,3,4,5 and 6 gives an answer which contains the same digits in a different order to the original number; and what is the value when it is multiplied by 7 ?

Bit of a hard one to guess - since every guess I've had is wrong.

But given that all the answers have the same number of digits, the original six digit number must either be less than 166,666 or greater than 500,000.

Is that right?

Why greater than 500,000.

I had come to the conclusion that it would have to be between 100,000 and 166,667 but I'll be buggered if I can find any addditional logic to narrow it down further.

Because if it's about 500,000 - they all end up as a 7 figures....

For some reason, I think it might end it an a 9, but that's just guesswork.

yep but then there would be one more digit than the original number?

142,857 so times by 7 gives 1,000,000 ?

So how did you work that out GG or is it just a well known fact?

For some reason the way you asked what the value is when times by 7 just made me try 1,000,000 divide by 7 and bobs your uncle!
