Problem

Let $N$ be the greatest integer multiple of 36 all of whose digits are even and no two of whose digits are the same. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000$ .

Solution

If assume to include all the even digits for the greatest integer multiple, we find that it is impossible for it to be divided by $3$ or $36$ . The next logical try would be $8640$ , and this happens to be divisible by $36$ . Thus $N = 8640 mod 1000 = \fbox{640}$
