If one of three consecutive numbers ends with 0 then the result will not be 2 at the last digit.
So, we have 2 × 4 × 6 which result will end with 8 and 4 × 6 × 8 which result will end with 2.
Three numbers must end with 4,6,8 consecutively.
Now look at this, 5 0 3 = 1 2 5 0 0 0 6 0 3 = 2 1 6 0 0 0 7 0 3 = 3 4 3 0 0 0 We can assume that the three numbers must be 5 4 × 5 6 × 5 8 or 6 4 × 6 6 × 6 8
As the solution, only answer is 6 4 × 6 6 × 6 8 = 2 8 7 2 3 2
