Problem
Let the letters ,,,,, represent distinct digits. Suppose is the greatest number that satisfies the equation
What is the value of ?
Solution 1
The highest that can be would have to be , and it cannot be higher than that because then it would exceed the -digit limit set on .
So, if we start at , we get , which would be wrong because both & would be , and the numbers cannot be repeated.
If we move on to the next lowest, , and multiply by , we get . All the digits are different, so would be , which is . So, the answer is .

Solution 2
Notice that .
Likewise, .
Therefore, we have the following equation:
.
Simplifying the equation gives
.
We can now use our equation to test each answer choice.
We have that , so we can find the sum:
.
So, the correct answer is .

Solution 3(Answer choices)
Note that . Thus, we can check the answer choices and find through each of the answer choices, we find the 1107 works, so the answer is .
