Find the largest possible 7 digit number ABCDEFG such that
( A B C D E F G ) 2 = T U V W X Y Z A B C D E F G . .
Note: T U V W X Y Z A B C D E F G is a 14 digit number where the variables A , B , C , D , E , F , G , T , U , V , W , X , Y , Z represent digits which need not be distinct from each other.

There are 2 numbers satisfying the condition : 2890625 and 7109376. So, largest number is 7109376.
Can you explain how you arrived at these 2 numbers? Did you use trial and error over all 7-digit numbers?

No, there's a trick. I am working on this type of numbers from a very long time. I have also found two 14 digit number which satisfy the conditions. If you see, there are 2 two digit numbers, 25 and 76 which sum up to 101. There are 2 three digit numbers, 625 and 376 which sum up to 1001.There are either 2 or 1 numbers in a Nth digit number. One thing you notice that if ABC is a 3 digit number, then NABC is a 4 digit number which will satisfy the conditions. For eg. 25 is a 2 digit no. and 625 is a 3 digit no. So, that's the amazing trick I have observed while searching for these amazing numbers.
please tell me how you've got it
how do you get these numbers?

Let a and b be the two 7-digit numbers in the problem. Then 1 0 7 a + b = b 2 , so 1 0 7 a = b ( b − 1 ) . Exactly one of b and b − 1 is even, so whichever one it is has to be divisible by 2 7 . Exactly one of b and b − 1 is divisible by 5 , so whichever one it is has to be divisible by 5 7 . Since b < 1 0 7 , we can't have chosen the same factor for both divisibility requirements.
So there are two cases: 2 7 ∣ b and 5 7 ∣ b − 1 , or 2 7 ∣ b − 1 and 5 7 ∣ b . These are simple Chinese Remainder Theorem calculations. We get b ≡ 7 1 0 9 3 7 6 mod 1 0 7 and b ≡ 2 8 9 0 6 2 5 mod 1 0 7 respectively. I don't know if T was allowed to be 0 (since 2 8 9 0 6 2 5 2 = 0 8 3 5 5 7 1 2 8 9 0 6 2 5 ), but in any event 7 1 0 9 3 7 6 is the larger of the two. We can check that 7 1 0 9 3 7 6 2 = 5 0 5 4 3 2 2 7 1 0 9 3 7 6 .
