At the outset, we note that:
DE*A=DE
=> A=1
Then, the simultaneous cryptarithmetic equations:
DE*B=ACD, DE*C=FGA, AFC-DE=ID,IDG-536=FJ, FGH-FCA=JB with A=1 solves as:

D  E  B  C  F  I  G  J  H
6  7   8  3  2  5  0  4  9

Therefore summarizing, we have:
A=1, D=6, E=7, B=8, C=3, F=2, I=5, G=0, J=4, and H=9
and, the required long division is:

6 7) 1 2 3 0 9 ( 1 8 3  
           6 7
        ----------
           5  6  0
           5  3  6
          ------------
                2  4  9
                2  0  1
               -----------
                     4  8

*** I have not yet been successful in driving a semi-analytic solution on my own. I will posit the soon as soon my efforts in that direction reach fruition.
