The only way for this to work is if a is equal to either 4 or 5. But we can disprove the latter because the least 2 a b c d e could be is 250000 and 250000 x 2 is not equal to 500008. Thus, the only number that satisfies 2 a b c d e is the number directly below 250000 which is 249999 and 249999 x 2 = 499998 . 4 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 8 = 4 8 .
