Just multiply the first no. with the second and the third numbers, and then add the two products and minus from them the second number ;This is a example: 5 + 3 + 2 = 151022

1) 5 x 3 = 15 {the first 2 digits} 2) 5 x 2 = 10 {the second two digits} 3) (15 + 10) - 3 = 22 {the third two digits}

The answer is 454585.

The first two digits of the 6-digit no. are formed by multiplying first and second number, the next two by multiplying first and third number, and the last two by adding the sums and subtracting the middle no.

Yeah, i did exactly the same ^^
