# --description--
It can be seen that the number, 125874, and its double, 251748, contain exactly the same digits, but in a different order.
Find the smallest positive integer, `x`, such that `2x`, `3x`, `4x`, `5x`, and `6x`, contain the same digits.
# --hints--
`permutedMultiples()` should return a number.
```js
assert(typeof permutedMultiples() === 'number');
```
`permutedMultiples()` should return 142857.
```js
assert.strictEqual(permutedMultiples(), 142857);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
function permutedMultiples() {
return true;
}
permutedMultiples();
```
# --solutions--
```js
function permutedMultiples() {
const isPermutation = (a, b) =>
a.length !== b.length
? false
: a.split('').sort().join() === b.split('').sort().join();
let start = 1;
let found = false;
let result = 0;
while (!found) {
start *= 10;
for (let i = start; i < start * 10 / 6; i++) {
found = true;
for (let j = 2; j <= 6; j++) {
if (!isPermutation(i + '', j * i + '')) {
found = false;
break;
}
}
if (found) {
result = i;
break;
}
}
}
return result;
}
```
