Finding number 2017 using 1,2,3,4,5,6

Question

i found this question on a monthly magazine and i simply can't solve it. To elaborate, the person is required to find number 2017 using numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 with following rules:

• Only operations allowed are +,-,*,/.
• You can use any number of parentheses.
• You can string numbers like forming 1234 from 1,2,3,4 as long as it maintains the initial order of 1,2,3,4,5,6 e.g. (123+4)*(5/6).

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hint: use that $2016 = 36\cdot 56$.

$$2017 = 1 + (2+34)\cdot 56.$$

I believe that the solution is unique.
