When you multiply a 3 digit number by 7,by 11 and by 13 you get the number twice e.g. 489 x 7 x11 x13 = 489489.
When you multiply a 5 digit no. by 11 and by 9091 you get the same as above e.g. 54698 x 11 x9091 = 5469854698.

How does this work ?

it's all to do with the magical number 9
7 x 11 x 13 = 1,001

therefore the product of this and any 3-digit No. XYZ will be XYZXYZ.

11 x 9091 = 100,001

and gives the same result for 5-digit Nos.

Here's one I cobbled together...

Take a 2-digit No. and multiply by 3, 7, 13 and 37.
