The number, 1406357289, is a 0 to 9 pandigital number because it is made up of each of the digits 0 to 9 in some order, but it also has a rather interesting sub-string divisibility property.

Let d1 be the 1st digit, d2 be the 2nd digit, and so on. In this way, we note the following:

    d2d3d4=406 is divisible by 2
    d3d4d5=063 is divisible by 3
    d4d5d6=635 is divisible by 5
    d5d6d7=357 is divisible by 7
    d6d7d8=572 is divisible by 11
    d7d8d9=728 is divisible by 13
    d8d9d10=289 is divisible by 17

Find the sum of all 0 to 9 pandigital numbers with this property.

s <- 0
for (i in d) {
    if(nchar(as.character(i)) == 9) {
        xx <- 0:9
        firstDigit <- xx[!xx %in% unlist(strsplit(as.character(i), split=""))]
        s <- s+ firstDigit*10^9+i
    }
    if(nchar(as.character(i)) == 8) {
        xx <- 1:9
        firstDigit <- xx[!xx %in% unlist(strsplit(as.character(i), split=""))]
        if(length(firstDigit) == 1)
            s <- s+ firstDigit*10^9+i
    }
}
 
print(s)

The implementation is not elegant, but amazingly fast.
