  Well what I need to know is if a 9 digit number consists of each digit from 1 to 9 and the 9 digit number is divisible by 9. If you remove the rightmost digit, the remaining 8 digit number will be divisible by eight. If you remove the next rightmost digit, the remaining 7 digit number will be divisible by 7. If you remove the next rightmost digit, the remaining 6 digit number will be divisible by 6. This process continues to one. What is the original nine-digit number?

  Well what I need to know is if a 9 digit number consists of each digit from 1 to 9 and the 9 digit number is divisible by 9. If you remove the rightmost digit, the remaining 8 digit number will be divisible by eight. If you remove the next rightmost digit, the remaining 7 digit number will be divisible by 7. If you remove the next rightmost digit, the remaining 6 digit number will be divisible by 6. This process continues to one. What is the original nine-digit number?

  
  
  let the first digit be a1, second a2 . . .
  1) You know a2, a4, a6 and a8 are even
  2) So you know a1, a3, a5, a7 and a9 are odd.
  
  3) You know a5 = 5.
  
  Now because of 2), you know 4 divides 10 * a3 +a5. So a4 is 2 or 6. Similarly, a8 is 2 or 6. So a2 is 4 or 8 and a6 is 4 or 8.
  
  3 divides 100* a7 + 10 * a8 + a9 (why?) and from this you can deduce a7 is 3, 7 or 9 (not 1).
  
  3 divides 100* a4 + 10 * a5 + a6 (why) so those numbers are
  258 or 654
  
  Playing around you get the first three numbers (a1-a3) are one of
  147
  381
  387
  741
  783
  789
  981
  987
  
  the second three are one of
  258
  654
  
  The final three are
  321
  327
  723
  729
  963
  
  Now since these numbers have to be unique, (one of each) you can eliminate some of them. For example, the first three cannot be 387 (why) or 783 (why)
  
  So picking combination where we do not have repeats, the possible numbers are
  147258963 (fails division by 7)
  381654729
  741258963 (fails division by 7)
  789654321 (fails division by 7)
  981654327 (fails division by 7)
  987654321 (fails division by 7)
  
  So the answer is 381654729
