A big number N becomes 6*N if you take its last digit and place it as its first like transforming 123466 into 612346.
REM: Big big number!
Find it.
clc, clearvars
syms p10 dig p x
p=sym(1);
for p10=1:108
p=p*sym(10);
for dig=4:9
eq=sym(6)*(10*x+dig)==x+p*dig;
s=solve(eq,x);
if s==round(s)
disp([s dig])
disp([s+p*dig])
disp((s+p*dig)/(10*s+dig))
disp(p10)
disp(' ')
end
end
end
solves the equation for switched digits between 4 and 9, for successive powers of 10 representing how distant the switch is, finding the main body needed and finds

The first two "solutions" are not really solutions as they introduce a leading zero for the smaller number. The third solution is the lowest actual solution.
N = 1016949152542372881355932203389830508474576271186440677966
becomes
6101694915254237288135593220338983050847457627118644067796
Then subsequent solutions:

and
N = 1355932203389830508474576271186440677966101694915254237288
