Each of the small letters in bold represents a different base x digit from 0 to x-1 to satisfy this alphametic equation. None of the numbers can contain any leading zero.

                              (x-1)*number = integer

Determine the minimum positive integer value of x such that the above equation has at least one solution. What is the next smallest value of x having this property?

With base 14 the alphametic can be solved in several ways.  One way is:
