There won't be a second digit for the product in the next step.
ie., product is 2 in the next step making 2=b then it will be 3=c and so on which contradicts your initial assumption. Hence further iteration needed.

777777 is one solution.
Just do 1x2x3x4x5x6=720 to match all possibilities

1*7*7*7*7*7 = 16807 and it's first digit is 1 contradicting initial assumption of 7.
