title: 'Problem 38: Pandigital multiples'
---
## Description
<section id='description'>
Take the number 192 and multiply it by each of 1, 2, and 3:
192 × 1 = 192
192 × 2 = 384
192 × 3 = 576
By concatenating each product we get the 1 to 9 pandigital, 192384576. We will call 192384576 the concatenated product of 192 and (1, 2, 3).
The same can be achieved by starting with 9 and multiplying by 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, giving the pandigital, 918273645, which is the concatenated product of 9 and (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
What is the largest 1 to 9 pandigital 9-digit number that can be formed as the concatenated product of an integer with (1, 2, ... , <var>n</var>) where <var>n</var> > 1?

## Challenge Seed

<div id='js-seed'>
```js
function pandigitalMultiples() {
// Good luck!
return true;
}
pandigitalMultiples();
```
</div>
</section>
## Solution
<section id='solution'>
```js
function pandigitalMultiples() {
function get9DigitConcatenatedProduct(num) {
// returns false if concatenated product is not 9 digits
let concatenatedProduct = num.toString();
for (let i = 2; concatenatedProduct.length < 9; i++) {
concatenatedProduct += num * i;
}
return concatenatedProduct.length === 9 ? concatenatedProduct : false;
}
function is1to9Pandigital(num) {
const numStr = num.toString();
// check if length is not 9
if (numStr.length !== 9) {
return false;
}
// check if pandigital
for (let i = 9; i > 0; i--) {
if (numStr.indexOf(i.toString()) === -1) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
let largestNum = 0;
for (let i = 9999; i >= 9000; i--) {
const concatenatedProduct = get9DigitConcatenatedProduct(i);
if (is1to9Pandigital(concatenatedProduct) && concatenatedProduct > largestNum) {
largestNum = parseInt(concatenatedProduct);
break;
}
}
return largestNum;
}
