This gives us this division puzzle to solve, to figure out what the digits A,B,C,D,E,F,G, must be in the divisions below. Of course we only need A. B E 2A)71 and 2A)94 CD FG 2 2 We see right off that CD=69 and FG=92, to give the remainder 2: B E 2A)71 and 2A)94 69 92 2 2 So B=3 in order to get the 6 digit of 69. And E=4 in order to get the 9 digit of 92 (with 1 to carry) 3 4 2A)71 and 2A)94 69 92 2 2 Now we see that A=3 to get the 9 digit of 69, and also to get the 2 digit of 92. 3 4 23)71 and 23)94 69 92 2 2 So the answer is 23.
