Arithmethic Separation (869)
Instruction:
Place the given list of digits into the blanks to form two valid long multiplication calculations. Each digit must go in exactly one of the two calculations, and the digits for each calculation must appear in the list in the same order they appear in the calculation, reading the top row of digits from left-to-right, then the second row of digits from left-to-right, and so on until reading the bottom row from left to right -- but (likely) with digits from the other calculation in between.
It is possible for there to be more than one way to choose digits from the original list to make valid calculations, but there is only one valid set of calculations.
Some digits of the calculation may already be supplied for you. A full description of long multiplication can be found at: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/LongMultiplication.html .
