Align Any Set (Posted on 2007-09-15)

Each of the letters should be replaced by a different digit from 0 to 9 to satisfy this alphanumeric equation:

ALIGN = ANY * SET

Can you solve it, knowing that if I told you what E stood for, you would be able to tell me all the other letters?

(A, N, Y, S, E, T, L, I, G) = (2, 0, 6, 1, 4, 5, 9, 8, 7)

29870 = 206 * 145

EXPLANATION:

As a general rule, is leading zeros are not allowed. Accordingly, in terms of the respective comments posted by Joe and Charlie, in location 1 and location 2, we obtain the following multiplication results by disregarding the second restriction.

29870=206*145
29458=286*103
36594=342*107
47586=462*103
57936=568*102
67392=624*108
86394=847*102

From the above table, it is readily observed that only 29870=206*145 is in conformity with the second condition.
