ONE, TWO, SIX and NINE (Posted on 2025-01-05) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Solve the following alphametic:

O/NE + T/WO + S/IX = NI/NE,

where / indicates division. As expected, TWO is divisible by 2, SIX is divisible by 6, and NINE is divisible by 9, but oddly TEN is divisible by 7. Each different letter represents a different digit, the same letter represents the same digit, and there are no leading zeros.

O NE T WO S IX NI NE
6 24 7 56 9 18 21 24

ONE TWO SIX NINE TEN
624 756 918 2124 742

6/24 + 7/56 + 9/18 = 21/24
1/4 + 1/8 + 1/2 = 7/8
