This is a base 8 multiplication. A well known French name is the key.

When I saw L***E*OT, I believed that the French name could be Lancelot. That would work if this was a base 10 multiplication. The origin of the name Lancelot has been debated, but it is in the stories of Chrétien de Troyes, so it could be French. Are there any base 10 solutions to LOTI*RAVI=LANCELOT? Ignore the partial products. The L*** vs. L**** error was my mistake. Sorry. I would just like to know if there is a solution to LOTI*RAVI=LANCELOT.
