This was way too simple arithmetic... Orange and White are the most influential boxes. And Green just sets the rest up to work properly. Considering Orange and White, there are so few numbers to choose from where you could easily plug in a couple numbers to solve it.
If you do what I did, and reduce the Red box formula (120 - all other boxes), to be (c - coefficient*Purple) where c is a constant and coefficient is a fraction, you can even add another factor to reduce the possible number so that there are only 2 options, where 1 ends up invalid.

@isolex,
so here is my problem with that. I have a solution using green is purple plus 16
green 28
purple 12
orange 6
white 4
Blue 31
Yellow 5
Pink 25
black 9
and get 33747840000
I hate how people just post the work. Seriously. Yeah, I'm late getting on, but the fact that I solved it on my own before looking here makes me kind of livid...
Seriously, hints are fine, but giving out all the work is rude.
Not saying this to you, Unity, you were just the last to post so I clicked reply on you
trial, not trail, cat... And ps... Blacksazaku? I don't have a gelert even if it WERE me! *hint hint*

@jip,
It mean that the number is odd and isn't a decimal numcer e.g: 5.5
That is what it means by a whole number. I have tried for ever to figure out the answer but I can't get it. Oh well good luck everyone
