There is a six-digit number made up of six different digits which, when multiplied by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 returns a six-digit answer which contains exactly the same six digits as the original number but in a different order. And when multiplied by 7 it returns a completely different number which contains none of these digits, which is still quite interesting. What is the original number?

Press the 'C' key which cancels the display to show zero (but retains your magic number in memory). Enter 9 followed by 'x' (multiply) which will simply display 9. Pass the calculator to one of your kids and ask them to enter a whole number between 1 and 9. Then ask them to press 'x' (multiply) followed by MRC (memory recall). Then press = (equals). Their original number is repeated across the screen. Just a bit of Xmas fun!
