Write a 9 digit number such that the seventh and ninth digits (1’s and 100’s columns) are 1 and 9 in either order.
Form a second 9 digit number by transposing the first and third digits, fourth and sixth digits, and seventh and ninth digits.
Using a calculator, subtract the smaller number from the larger one. The number showing will be exactly divisible by 792, which can be verified by doing the division and ending up with a whole number.
