Project Euler Problem 38: https://projecteuler.net/problem=38
Take the number 192 and multiply it by each of 1, 2, and 3:
192 × 1 = 192
192 × 2 = 384
192 × 3 = 576
By concatenating each product we get the 1 to 9 pandigital, 192384576. We will call
192384576 the concatenated product of 192 and (1,2,3)
The same can be achieved by starting with 9 and multiplying by 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5,
giving the pandigital, 918273645, which is the concatenated product of 9 and
(1,2,3,4,5).
What is the largest 1 to 9 pandigital 9-digit number that can be formed as the
concatenated product of an integer with (1,2, ... , n) where n > 1?
Solution:
Since n>1, the largest candidate for the solution will be a concactenation of
a 4-digit number and its double, a 5-digit number.
Let a be the 4-digit number.
a has 4 digits => 1000 <= a < 10000
2a has 5 digits => 10000 <= 2a < 100000
=> 5000 <= a < 10000
The concatenation of a with 2a = a * 10^5 + 2a
so our candidate for a given a is 100002 * a.
We iterate through the search space 5000 <= a < 10000 in reverse order,
calculating the candidates for each a and checking if they are 1-9 pandigital.
In case there are no 4-digit numbers that satisfy this property, we check
the 3-digit numbers with a similar formula (the example a=192 gives a lower
bound on the length of a):
a has 3 digits, etc...
=> 100 <= a < 334, candidate = a * 10^6 + 2a * 10^3 + 3a
= 1002003 * a
