What about 24856
A=2 B=4 all the same
Meaning E=6
My thought was "1/4 of 20 equals 5, now can i do something with it?"
So 2+4+6+x=20(=)x=8
Therefore C=8 (largest digit within this number) and D=5
(The only thing is, i thought about the 4th being the largest within the 5 we had to use)

But if you add up all your digits you get 25 and 25/4 isn't a whole number

True, i was just counting 4 of them... That was my mistake
That's what I got too
First of all .. you really need to state your counting direction, meaning the First number is it the one on the far Left or the far right?!, otherwise every one will use his own default for me the first always represents the units
Second: the solution
Assign letters from a to e for the unknown digits as follows
edcba
e > 1 … … e q ( 1 ) d = 2 e … … e q ( 2 ) c > a > d … e q ( 3 ) c > b … … e q ( 4 ) a = d + e = 3 e … e q ( 5 ) b = 4 ( a + b + c + d + e ) = 4 ( c + b + 6 e )

using eq(3) & eq(5) c > 3 e If e=2 c>6 ,,, "c" could be 7,8,9 If e=3 c>9 ,,, error 9 is the largest digit
so e = 2 , , d = 4 , , a = 6
Using equation (6) so c = 9 and b = 3 ( 9 + 1 2 ) = 7
Finally the number is= 2 4 8 7 6

Let the number be A B C D E .
First, we know that B = 2 A , and E = A + B = A + 2 A = 3 A .
Since E is a digit divisible by 3, it has to be either 3, 6, or 9. But it cannot be 3, since A cannot be 1 since none of the digits are 1. It also cannot be 9, since C is the largest digit and no digits are larger than 9.
Thus, E must be 6, giving A = 2 and B = 4 .
Now, we know that D = 4 1 ( A + B + C + D + E ) = 4 1 ( 2 + 4 + C + D + 6 ) = 3 + 4 1 C + 4 1 D , so C = 3 D − 1 2 . Since 3 D + 1 2 is divisible by 3, C must be divisible by 3. But since C is the largest of the digits and E = 6 , we must have C = 9 . Since C = 9 , D = 3 9 + 1 2 = 7 .
Thus, the 5-digit number is 2 4 9 7 6 .
