Say M be the written integer then ⎩ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎧ 3 2 M = M − 3 M ⋯ ( 1 ) 2 3 M = M − 2 M ⋯ ( 2 ) now subtracting equations we have 2 × 3 M . Rather than checking than all the cases we can directly go for the number divisible by 3. 2 0 1 9 and 2 0 2 2 are possible cases(divisibility rule of 3) thus only solution is 2 0 2 2 .

The first statement implies it is divisible by 3. The second statement implies it is divisible by 2.
Therefore we need a number divisible by 6.
2 0 2 2 fits the bill!
