Shuffle to Double

[TimeSpaceLightForce]

Search for the smallest positive integer that if you shuffle its digits its new value becomes double.

Just validated my above answer with a simple program...in case you're curious, here's the source:

public class SuffleDouble {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      for (long i = 1; i < 1000000; i++) {
         permutation("", i + "", i);
      }
   }
 
   private static void permutation(String prefix, String str, long origVal) {
      int n = str.length();
      if (n == 0) {
         long newVal = Long.parseLong(prefix);
         if (origVal * 2 == newVal) {
            System.out.println(origVal + " * 2 = " + prefix);
            System.exit(0);
         }
      } else {
         for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            permutation(prefix + str.charAt(i), str.substring(0, i) + str.substring(i+1, n), origVal);
         }
      }
   }
}

0 is not a positive integer.

24.

0 is not a positive integer.

24.

darn. This is why i prefer to write my own questions. I am always making simple mistakes like this.

42 is not double of 24

clarification

is it going to be double regardless how it is shuffled or that there exists a double if shuffled the correct way"

125874...can be shuffled to be 251748

[TimeSpaceLightForce]

I was considering Kevink2's number 285714 from BMAD's 50% Increase problem to render 571428 , but hoping for much smaller number . Yet the 6 digits shows up again...."125874...can be shuffled to be 251748" matched with code. What other properties these 6digit combo has? Thanks for convincing solve Pickett..
