Also, being a 10-digit number and having all its digits distinct means that its digits are 0, 1, 2, 3, ... , 9 in some order and thus their sum is 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 9 = 45, which is divisible by 9 so each Homage number has to be divisible by 9 too. As 9 is coprime to 41 and 271, each Homage number N must be divisible by their product, i.e., by 41 * 271 * 9 = 99,999.
 

Good catch the divisibility by 9. I totaly missed this.
