Heptagony (Posted on 2024-09-02) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Robert was surfing the internet recently, and found a reference to polygonal numbers. These are series such as the triangular numbers, pentagonal numbers and others, including the series of heptagonal numbers, which starts 1, 7, 18, 34…
Robert asked his nephew, Sam to tell him the next member of this series, which he said was 55. Later Sam told Robert that he had found a set of six consecutive heptagonal numbers, all less than two million, where the difference between the first and last was divisible by all of the digits 1 to 9. One of the intermediate heptagonal numbers in this set was divisible by just four of these digits.

What was this heptagonal number?

Note: Adapted from Enigma Number:1672 by Adrian Sommerfield, which appered in the New Scientist on 9 November, 2011.
