digs='0123456789';
choices=digs(combinator(10,5,'p'));
for i=1:length(choices)
  svenk=choices(i,:);
  seven=svenk([1 3 2 3 4]);
  k=svenk(5);
  financing=char(string(str2double(seven)^str2double(k)));
  if length(financing)==9
    afgvkga=[financing([4 1 9]) svenk([2 5]) financing([9 4])];
    if length(financing)==9
      tst=financing([3 5 8]);
      if length(unique(tst))==1
        if tst(1)==svenk(4)
          disp([seven ' ' k  ' ' financing ' ' afgvkga])
        end
      end
    end
  end
end

checks only the n's in financing as compatible with the letters in seven and k; it doesn't test the rest of the structure of "financing".

The only found solution is

17578 2 308986084 9345249 standing for
SEVEN K FINANCING AFGVKGA
FIVE^K then comes out to
3057^2
which is indeed 9345249.

Then the "answer" is ASKING.
