Pandigital numbers in Google CP Solver.

From Albert H. Beiler 'Recreations in the Theory of Numbers', quoted from http://www.worldofnumbers.com/ninedig1.htm ''' Chapter VIII : Digits - and the magic of 9

The following curious table shows how to arrange the 9 digits so that the product of 2 groups is equal to a number represented by the remaining digits.

 12 x 483 = 5796
 42 x 138 = 5796
 18 x 297 = 5346
 27 x 198 = 5346
 39 x 186 = 7254
 48 x 159 = 7632
 28 x 157 = 4396
 4 x 1738 = 6952
 4 x 1963 = 7852

'''

See also MathWorld http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PandigitalNumber.html ''' A number is said to be pandigital if it contains each of the digits from 0 to 9 (and whose leading digit must be nonzero). However, 'zeroless' pandigital quantities contain the digits 1 through 9. Sometimes exclusivity is also required so that each digit is restricted to appear exactly once. '''
