Wrong Division (Posted on 2004-12-03) Difficulty: 4 of 5
The following long division problem is not correct. In fact, none of the digits is what it should be.

Change each of the digits to a different digit so that the arithmetic is correct.

Note that there is no remainder, no leading zeroes, and like digits are not necessarily all changed to the same digit.

That "12" must be in the 90's. And the divisor is 20-33. Also, the "2" from 4321 must be 3 or 4. There is no way for 20-22 be in the 90's.

That means that the range of the divisor is 23-33, with the exception of 25.
