Possible 6 digit combinations (assuming that digits can be repeated) = 1 0 6
So our list is 1 , 2 , 3 … 1 0 6
Now we need to separate the numbers which are divisible by 1 7 2 9 from the list. To do that, we need to simplify the list. First multiple of 1 7 2 9 in the list is 1 7 2 9 itself while the last multiple is
⌊ 1 7 2 9 1 0 6 ⌋ = 5 7 8
So our new list is 1 ⋅ 1 7 2 9 , 2 ⋅ 1 7 2 9 , 3 ⋅ 1 7 2 9 … 5 7 8 ⋅ 1 7 2 9
Since now we just need to count the number of items in the list, we can simply out list as 1 , 2 , 3 … 5 7 8
Therefore, there are 5 7 8 numbers which satisfy the given conditions and hence these numbers are possible candidates for the actual number. Since actual number is hidden within them, when you try all the 5 7 8 numbers, you are guaranteed to get the right answer, even in worst case scenario!
