Problem
Find a number 
of five different and non-zero digits, which is equal to the sum of all the numbers of three different digits that can be formed with five digits of .

Solution
Let 
or in a better format: 
The total number of combinations is given the following way:
For the first digit of any three-digit number we have 5 numbers to chose from.
For the second digit we have 4 numbers to chose from.
For the third digit we have 3 numbers to chose from.
Total numbers of three digit numbers is (5)(4)(3)=60.
Now we need to find their sum.
From all 60 ways, in the first digit we will have each digit of N showing with (4)(3)=12 configurations.
From all 60 ways, in the second digit we will have each digit of N showing with (4)(3)=12 configurations.
From all 60 ways, in the last digit we will have each digit of N showing with (4)(3)=12 configurations.
Therefore the sum, since each digit of is shown in each position 12 times, then
Since 
, then 
$\begin{cases}(15)(1332)=19980; 1+9+9+8+0=27; 27 \ne 15; \text{NO}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)\end{cases}$
