Maybe an example will help me understand. Let's say I wanted to have the leading digits 921, and I start with a guess of X=5.
What do I do now?

Now the problem is that you might not have enough small increments you can make. You can always replace X=100,005 with X=1,000,0050 - multiply by ten, and the leading digits behave the same on multiplication, but you have ten times as many numbers you can multiply by.
You basically can divvy up things in as many fine increments as you want, so you can always find some number that does things properly.
