There are infinitely many pairs of numbers whose sum equals their product.

However, there is only one solution to the equation below, in which each letter stands for a single, distinct digit.

AB × C.DE = AB + C.DE

What digit does each letter in this equation represent?

(In reply to solution? by Elias)

Impetuous. How many times do we find a solution to a problem, whether concrete or abstract only to find that a perception, measurement, or misreading of the data leaves us embarrassed?

In this case we have been told that each letter represents a unique digit.
