Division Problems

Long Division:

These are problems in which letter are substituted for numbers in long division problems. The first type are fill-ins, these contain both letters and numbers, in these, the letters are independent, so an F for example could stand for a 2 in one place and a 4 in the other. The second type contain only letters, in these the same letter will represent the same number within the given puzzle. In both cases, the object is to replace the letters with single digit numbers to result in a correct problem. A good start with these puzzles are to locate 0’s and 1’s.
