I too have been working out on The last digit of D x C is equal to C.?

But it doesn't work out from there.
Genuinely wondering if it's a typo and you can use zero.

    - Thought I was getting there with C is 8 and D 6 (General Chat) - South_West_Canary, Jan 10, 13:49:45
      - Honestly I think this has no solutions unless you allow zeroes (n/m) (General Chat) - Old Man, Jan 10, 13:50:50

- Damn thing is truncating my post. Hang on...got it (General Chat) - Old Man, Jan 10, 13:39:56
- I can find two solutions. But both include a zero and the problem says 1-9 (General Chat) - Old Man, Jan 10, 13:38:53

- 124 X 9 gives a four digit product on the right hand side 1116 (General Chat) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 10, 13:29:55
  - PS D can't be 9 because of the maximum rule earlier (General Chat) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 10, 13:30:48
    - sorry I meant B not D - was typing fast whilst in transit earlier - just noticed it (General Chat) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 10, 19:29:02
    - Need more than luck the way this is going! 😊 (n/m) (General Chat) - South_West_Canary, Jan 10, 13:48:12
- Max 999 X 9 gives 8991 so D < 9 etc (n/m) (General Chat) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 10, 13:25:53
  - Simarly it can't be 111 X 1 since B > 0 etc (n/m) (General Chat) - essexcanaryOTBC, Jan 10, 13:26:53
