Year Yearn 3 (Posted on 2016-04-05) Difficulty: 2 of 5
It is observed that 2016 = 16*126. In other words 2016 can be written as: AC*ABC where each of A, B and C is a distinct base ten digit with A being a nonzero digit.

Determine the next three positive integers having this property. What are the preceding three positive integers with this property?

First starting with 2016 and going forward, then a set going backward.  Asterisks marke a second way of producing the same number.  "Next three" and "preceding three" such numbers are bolded. The "preceding three" include two ways for one of them, so four lines are bolded there.
