The Number and the Square



               In the diagram the numbers from 1to 9 are arranged in a square in such a way that the number in the second row is twice that in the first row and the number in the bottom row three times that in the top row.
               I am told that there are three other ways of arranging the numbers so as to produce the same result.
 Can you find the other three ways?

1            9                2

3            8                4 

5            7                 6    
        

Answer: While the first was the example given, the top row must be one of the four following numbers: 192.219.273 or 327.
