This checks all pairs of A and G to see if a valid BCDEF is found.

DEFDBL A-Z
FOR a = 2 TO 9
 FOR g = 1 TO 9
  REDIM used(9)
  used(a) = 1: used(g) = 1
  bcdef = g * 111111 / a
  good = 0
  IF bcdef = INT(bcdef) THEN
    b$ = LTRIM$(STR$(bcdef))
    good = 1
    FOR i = 1 TO LEN(b$)
     d = VAL(MID$(b$, i, 1))
     IF used(d) THEN good = 0: EXIT FOR
     used(d) = 1
    NEXT
    IF good THEN PRINT a; bcdef; g * 111111
  END IF
 NEXT
NEXT

If finds only
