THE PUZZLE

This puzzle comes from one my books at home (cannot remember which) and has a particular relevance which I will reveal in my next post: take any three digit number, and multiply by 7, then multiply the new number 11 and finally multiply that number by 13.

For a bonus what two numbers would you need to use as multipliers to achieve an equivalent effect with a four digit starting number?
