The different letters correspond to different digits, with the subscripts denoting the two bases in both sides of this cryptarithmetic equation.
(ABC)6 = (DBEF)5
If the common value in each side of the equation is equal to a positive integer N in base 10, what is the minimum value of N?
Note: None of A or D can be zero.

Very good, Caracrist.
But there seems to be a typing error, since:
[color=#ededed] (435)6 = (1132)5
(2301)5 = (1302)6[/ color],
Perhaps you inadvertently posted the solution to:
(ABCD)5 = (DBCA)6
If so, I must compliment you for an accurate solution of that other problem.
