Question 108477: Here is the problem that i CANNOT figure out :-(
Word problem:
Recently a very wealthy individual died and left a large amount of money to be distributed to two individuals. The problem was that this person did not tell anyone who these two people were. This rather cryptic message was left to help someone solve the mystery.
Social security numbers have 9 digits. Assuming there is a unique social security number for each person find the number that contains no 0's and the first number is divisible by 1, the first two numbers are divisible by 2, the first 3 numbers are divisible by 3 and so on - the entire number would then be divisible by 9. No digit is used twice.
There are two hints: The fifth number is a 5, AND there are no 0's.
Can you PLEASE help me?!
Thanks soooooo much, Samuel Urschel

But how can that be?
:
It said the 5th number is 5
and
The 1st five digit number is divisible by 5
and
There are no zeros
and
you can only use 5 once in the number
;
Am I missing something here?

Nov 8,
After some slogging I came up with a number: 381654729
:
381654729/9 = 4240681
:
38165472/8 = 4770694
:
3816547/7 = 545221
:
381654/6 = 63609
:
38165/5 = 7633
:
3816/4 = 954
:
381/3 = 127
:
38/2 = 19
:
3/1 = 3

I cannot prove that this is only answer, but I suspect it is.
