Use all the 10 digits once each to make this problem work. (0-9)

_ _ _ _ _ * _ = 1 _ _ _ _ 6

There are 2 solutions.
Hint showing where the 0 goes:
????? * ? = 1???06
????? * ? = 10???6

Using a to j to represent the 10 digits:
abcde * f = 1ghij6
which means:
(a*10000+b*1000+c*100+d*10+e) * f = 100000+g*10000+h*1000+i*100+j*10+6

Of course, e*f must end with 6.

Is that enough for you to finish?
WHERE does this problem/puzzle come from?
