Divisibility Property (Posted on 2016-08-31) Difficulty: 3 of 5
1406357289, a 0 to 9 pandigital number has a rather interesting sub-string divisibility property.
Let d1 be the 1st digit, d2 be the 2nd digit, and so on.
In the above number we note the following:

• d2d3d4=406 is divisible by 2
• d3d4d5=063 is divisible by 3
• d4d5d6=635 is divisible by 5
• d5d6d7=357 is divisible by 7
• d6d7d8=572 is divisible by 11
• d7d8d9=728 is divisible by 13
• d8d9d10=289 is divisible by 17

List all 0 to 9 pandigital numbers with all those properties.

D4, if solved without software.

I noticed that only nine of the ten digits was being used; the first digit isn't used in the sample. So I decided to try for 19 as well. That never happened, but in order to make things easier to program I started with digits 1-3 instead of 2-4, so that 8-10 could be used for the potential multiple of 19.

The findings were

1063572894  7
1309528674  7
1603572894  7
4063572891  7
4309528671  7
4603572891  7

with the 7 indicating that only the first 7 primes were accommodated.

In terms of what's asked for, putting the first digit last in each case, the six numbers are:

0635728941
3095286741
6035728941
0635728914
3095286714
6035728914

One might disallow the numbers with leading zero. But it does lead to two very nice 9-digit numbers: 635728914 and 635728941 with the given property starting at digit 1 instead of 2.
