Puzzle with another digit

Comment 4 of 4 |

I was considering doing this puzzle with another digit K, as in LM/MK=N.LMMMM... However, then I noticed that there were other solutions with decimals with repeating 9's.

K=0, L=4, M=3, N=1

43/30=1.43333...

K=5, L=1, M=9, N=0

19/95=1/5=0.2=0.19999...

K=8, L=4, M=9, N=0

49/98=1/2=0.5=0.49999...
