Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás: A keresett hatjegyű számot írjuk 100\,000a+b alakban, ahol a=3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a b pedig ötjegyű egész szám. A szöveg szerint:

3(100\,000a+b)=1\,000\,000(a-3)+10b+3,

0=700\,000a+7b-2\,999\,997,

b=\frac{2\,999\,997-700\,000a}{7}.

Csak az a=4 esetén kapnuk b-re ötjegyű pozitív egész számot: b=28\,571. Vagyis a keresett szám: 428\,571.

Valóban 428\,571\cdot3=1\,285\,713.
