Problem 58977. Find the smallest number leading to a maximal product of two numbers that concatenate to another number
Cody Problem 58971 involves the maximal product of numbers that concatenate to a number n. For example, if , then the products are , , and , and the maximal product is 492. For , the maximal product is zero.
This problem seeks the smallest number leading to a given maximal product. If the product is 492, the smallest number is 682. Some products have no solution. For example, 13 is a product of both 113 and 131, but the maximal products are 33 and 31, respectively.
Write a function that takes a maximal product and returns the smallest number leading to that product. If the product has no corresponding number, return the empty set.

For test 17, the answer is 25*84902258=2122556450, but not 303222350*7=2122556450

@CXD but 2584902258 can be split as 2584*902258 = 2331434672, so it doesn't yield the desired maximal product.
