The Dictionary

$147,852$

Mistake

The digits $147852$ in various orders ... occur in several other products also. For example, $666 \times 777 = 517,842$ and $333 \times 777 = 258,741$.

Correction

$666 \times 777 = 517,482$ not $517,842$.

This is a misprint that does not occur in Curious and Interesting Numbers of $1986$.
