A*C*(10A+C) = 111*C
A*(10A+C) = 111
10A^2+A*C = 111
C = 111/A - (10)A
A must be a factor of 111 which means that it must be 3
C = 37 - (10)3
C = 7
3*7*37 = 777

HAHA Damn i missed that ^^^ so much better than mine
Assuming a and c are digits
a * c * (10a+c) = 111*c
10a^2*c+a*c^2 = 111*c
10a^2c+a*c^2-111*c=0
c * (10a^2 + a*c - 111) = 0
The roots of the part int he brackets are
[-c +/- sqrt(c^2+4*10*111)]/20
=[-c +/- sqrt(c^2+4440)]/20
Obviously if c = 0 we have a solution for all digits a
but if c!=0 then there must be a digit root 'a' for a digit c.
Using some calculation (in a program) we can find that if c = 7 then a = 3
This is the only solution other than c = 0 a = {1,2,3,..,9}
A simple way to do it analytically is to find squares s^2 above [[sqrt(4440)]+1 =67 such that x^2-a^2=4440.

For all real numbers A and C:
A²C² = C³
C³ - A²C² = 0
C² (C - A²) = 0
C = 0 or C = A²
{0, A²}
