Since the numbers n and k are positive integers of the same length, the quotient kn must be a single-digit positive number, because multiplying by a multi-digit number increases the number of digits. The quotient 1 is obviously possible (e.g. 6969=1). We show that no other quotient is possible.
* If the first digit of the number k is 1, then the last digit of the number n is 1. The quotient kn cannot be 2, 4, 5, 6, or 8, because the multiples of these numbers cannot end with the digit 1. If the quotient kn were 3 or 7, then the last digit of k should be 7 or 3, respectively. However, these digits cannot occur in a twisting. If the quotient kn were 9, then the last digit of the number k should be 9 and the first digit of the number n should therefore be 6. However, since n=9k, the number n can only start with the digit 9. Therefore, the only possibility is kn=1.
* If the first digit of the number k is 2, then the last digit of the number n is 5. The quotient kn cannot be 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, because in these cases the number n would have more digits than the number k. The quotient kn cannot be 2 or 4, because the multiples of these numbers cannot end with the digit 5. If the quotient kn were 3, then the last digit of the number k should also be 5 and the first digit of the number n should therefore be 2. However, since n=3k, the number n can only start with the digits 6, 7, and 8. So again, the only possibility is kn=1.
* The first digit of the number k cannot be 3 or 4, because these numbers do not occur in a twisting.
* If the first digit of the number k is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, then kn≥2 is not possible, because then there would be more digits in the number n than in the number k. Thus, the only possibility is kn=1.
