Need help with this difficult Intro to Elementary Number Theory Homework problem. Recall that a permutation of {1, 2,..., n} is a one-to-one correspondence P from the set {1,2,...,n} to itself (or a 'rearrangement' of 1, 2, ..., n). For example,P(1) = 3, P(2) = 2, P(3) = 1defines a permutation of {1, 2, 3}.Let N be an integers whose digits are X₁ X2 ... 4591. (For example, the number 415 has digits x1 = 4, x2 = 1, x3 = 5.). If P is a permutation of {1, 2, ..., 4591}, what isthe largest integer k that is guaranteed to divide the differenceX1 X2 X4,591 XP(1) P(2) Xp(4591)for any possible value of N and any permutation P. (Hint: consider the sum of the digits of the numbers in question.)

Given that N be an integer whose digits are .
