Almost-pandigital sets (Posted on 2017-07-22) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Consider numbers like 54 and 90.
In the lists of all divisors (for each of those two) 9 distinct digits appear!

54: (1,2,3,6,9,18,27,54); all digits , except 0
90: (1,2,3,5,6,9,10,15,18,30,45,90); 7 excluded

List all such numbers below 1000.

Solution computer solution Comment 1 of 1
The program below finds 93 almost-pandigital sets below 1000 as well as 43 actual pandigital sets. The numbers and their associated sets follows:

Listed are: the number; whether 9 or 10 different digits are accounted for; if one digit is missing, what that digit is; and the set of divisors. 

The output was sorted so that the solutions set for this puzzle, the almost-pandigital, comes first. Within each row, the divisors themselves are not in numerical order, but rather: odd first, then even; within those groups, non-multiples of 3 followed by those that are multiples of 3 but not of 3^2, then multiples of 3^2, etc; that is, within any set of multiples of a given prime, non-multiples come first, then multiples of the first power, second power, etc., with the hierarchy being the lowest prime to the highest.

Interesting fact: The first number whose set of divisors has all digits except 2 is 3815, whose divisors are 1,109,7,763,5,545,35 and 3815. All except 3 is 1816, with divisors 1,227,2,454,4,908,8,1816. Thus all digits, except of course 1, are possible as the missing digit, though 2 and 3 require going beyond number 1000.
