At the moment, the number starts with a 5 . After inserting three digits it will still be like this unless we put a digit in front. Putting a 4 there would make the number smaller but a 6 helps. For the 4 s , the places in front of 5 and 8 aren't good because replacing 5 or 8 by 4 (you're not replacing them, but for the magnitude of the number only the left digits count, so you would first look at a 4 and then a 5 ) would make the number smaller. The best place is in front of the 2 , which gives the result of 6 5 8 4 4 2 4 1 9 .
