I used Math::Combinatorics for both parts and a slight modification of the original test to get the answer (9867312) in less time than it takes to make a coffee...
use strict; use warnings; use Math::Combinatorics; my @n = qw(1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9); my $found; foreach my $count (reverse (1..@n)) { my $combinat = Math::Combinatorics->new(count => $count, data => [ +@n],); my @comb; while (@comb = $combinat->next_combination()) { my @permu; my $permute = Math::Combinatorics->new(data => [@comb]); while (@permu = $permute->next_permutation()) { if (passes(@permu)) { print "@permu\n"; $found++; } } } exit if $found; } sub passes { my $test_number = join '', @_; for ( @_ ) { return 0 unless $test_number % $_ == 0 ; } return 1; }
update I have modified my original code taking the 5 out of the possible numbers and paring down the test as much as possible. This now runs much faster.
