Homage number must be divisible by 271 * 41 * 9 = 99999
Since 1e5 mod 99999 = 1, Homage number had another property:

top 5 digits + bottom 5 digits = 99999

Example, since 10234 + 89765 = 99999, smallest Homage number is 10234 89765

Top digit > 0, thus 9 cases to choose.
2nd digit cannot be the first, or 9 - first, thus 10 - 2 = 8 cases ...

Total Homage numbers = 9 * 8 * 6 * 4 * 2 = 3456
