# --description--
|
||
|
||
Take the number 192 and multiply it by each of 1, 2, and 3:
|
||
|
||
<div style='margin-left: 4em;'>
|
||
192 × 1 = 192<br>
|
||
192 × 2 = 384<br>
|
||
192 × 3 = 576<br>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
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, ... , `n`) where `n` > 1?
|
||
|
||
# --hints--
|
||
|
||
`pandigitalMultiples()` should return a number.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert(typeof pandigitalMultiples() === 'number');
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`pandigitalMultiples()` should return 932718654.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert.strictEqual(pandigitalMultiples(), 932718654);
|
||
```

if (numStr.length !== 9) {

}
|

// check if pandigital

const concatenatedProduct = get9DigitConcatenatedProduct(i);
|

if (is1to9Pandigital(concatenatedProduct) && concatenatedProduct > largestNum) {
|

largestNum = parseInt(concatenatedProduct);

break;
