David Jones' Locker
by Nicholas Machado in GAMES

David Jones has a locker combination that is a three-digit number where each digit is a number from 0 to 9.   One day after math class, while he was entering his combination, David realized that if he multiplied the three digits together, that number would be exactly one quarter of his locker combination.

What is David's locker combination?

Solution to the Problem:

David's locker combination is 384.

Multiplied together, the digits are equal to 96, which is one quarter of 384.

James Alarie sent in another answer: 0 0 0, so I guess he gets extra credit.
