Your value for the quotient is very close. Check it, you may have transposed two digits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's canot be 8 because: Call Z= abcd - 8Y, Z have 2 digit 10Z +e -7Y = 3 digit The third number of quitient( call it is n) x Y = 3 digit and the subtraction of nY get 2 digit ,ít impossible So we got 97809. We know 9Y >= 1000, 8Y<1000 So Y =[112-124] I check and divinded is 12128316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
