Analytical solution (D2)

| Comment 3 of 9 |

(a) ELR * E = LYE

From (a), E < 4

But E cannot be 0 or 1.

And if E = 3, then L can only be 9, but 39R * 3 cannot equal 9Y2.

So E must = 2

Then, 2L? * 2 = L?2, so L must be 4 or 5.

But (b) LY2*2 = RYYP, so R must equal 1

And L > 4 ; Therefore L = 5

So, there is just one possibility

251 * 2 = 502 502 * 2 = 1004

Then PLY/EEL = 450/225 = 2
