SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on solving the equation for positive integers \( k \) where the product of the digits of \( k \) equals \( \frac{25k}{8} - 211 \). The confirmed solutions are \( k = 72 \) and \( k = 88 \). Participants validate these solutions and encourage sharing the methodology on the Math Help Boards (MHB). The problem highlights the relationship between digit products and linear equations.
