Enigma 1691 - Factory parts
New Scientist magazine, 31 March 2012.
By Gwyn Owen.
The number 3120 is divisible without remainder
by each number in the following set: 3, 312,
12, 120, 2 and 20. Each of these numbers will
be called a visible proper divisor (VPD) of
3120 because each is visible either as a single
digit or as a group of adjacent digits in 3120.
(1 and 3120 have been excluded as being improper,
in order that any prime number has no VPDs).
ENIGMA represents an odd six-digit number in
which all the digits are different. The set
of all VPDs of ENIGMA is E, NI, IG, G, GMA,
M, MA, and A. What is ENIGMA?
Ciao,

A cryptarithm solver comes up with 921375 and 832416. The number is
odd, so it is 921375.
