Warning: My suggested solution ignores the order of the digits, so for
instance {n1,n2}={1234567,1234568} and {n1,n2}={1234567,8654321} will
produce the same result.

Having seen the other responses I now realise that the order of the digits
was probably important to you. If so, then ignore my suggestion which
