which two numbers when multiplied together make 12,345,678,987,654,321

[squarebear]

Surely any two numbers when multiplied together only have one result. What do you mean?

[elliemay1]

Could be lots of answers to this.

[squarebear]

They are all divisible by 3 if that's any help?

[sandyRoe]

1 and 12,345,678,987,654,321

[chrismw]

If there are lots of answers can you give me just one of them please?
Thank you in anticipation.

111,111,111 X 111,111,111

[squarebear]

Sure, here is one example:

6 x 2 = 12
5 x 69=345
6 x 116 = 678
3 x 329 = 987
6 x 109 = 654
3 x 107 = 321

The question doesn't really make a lot of sense though. What do you need to know.

[squarebear]

Oh I see what you mean. I thought they were 6 different numbers!

[elliemay1]

Are you looking for the answer to 6 different numbers or is that one number? If it's the latter then sandy's answer is correct.

[squarebear]

3 x 4115226329218107 = 12345678987654321
9 x 1371742109739369 = 12345678987654321
27 x 457247369913123 = 12345678987654321
and so on
and so on

elliemay - I don't think there are six separate answers; I think it is one huge number

I interpreted it in my post above as

111,111,111 (is a number)

multiplied by

111,111,111 (another number)

= 12,345,678,987,654,321

[Maydup]

I think your question is reasonably clear chrismw!

Which TWO numbers when multiplied TOGETHER make the long number.

The answer is 111,111,111

I have received a long letter today from someone who is doing this quiz. He points out various errors that I have made in compiling it.

Trouble is, it's not my quiz & I have not seen it!
