The first digit corresponds to the #letters in the word which is A(say)

The second digit corresponds to the day of the week which is B(say)

The next digits are respectively A+B and A*B

In the given problem:

#letters in Saturday is 8, and therefore: A=8

Saturday corresponds to the 7th day of the week, and so:B=7

Hence, we must have:

A+B = 8+7=15, and:

A*B = 8*7=56

Consequently, the required missing number is 871556.
