super powerful pandigitals 2 (Posted on 2023-03-08) Difficulty: 3 of 5
This is in continuation of super powerful pandigitals.

Determine all the 0 to 9 pandigital numbers (no leading zeroes) that have the highest power of 7 as factor.

Note: A m to n pandigital number is a positive integer that contains all the digits from m to n and only those digits once each, for example - 12345 is 1 to 5 pandigital but not 1 to 9 pandigital.

I found a single solution:  3891240675

Note that 7^12 is greater than the largest 0 to 9 pandigital.
So check 7^11, 7^10 etc

The highest power of 7 I found was 8, 7^8 = 5764801 and only one pandigital (above) had this as a factor.

Here are those with power:  8, 7, and 6:
