I will use a, y, b because they look similar.

yab / ya = ab (*ya)

yab = yba^2 (/yb)

a = a^2 (/a)

1 = a^2/a

1 = a

a = 1

Alpha, beta and gamma are not supposed to be variables multiplied together, they are supposed to be digits (but alpha always represents the same digit). An incorrect solution would be: 489/48=89.

alpha = 1, beta = 0, gamma = anything (but we'll say 3 for convenience) so

310/31=10

They are multiplied together. It is common not to write the multiplication sign when we have variables multiplied together. But you already know that. I didn't emphasized that because I didn't think it was necessary! Sorry! <_<

That is why I said that it's really easy!

I'm so sorry! I'm such an idiot! You are absolutely right alpha, beta and gamma are digits forming a number! I just didn't read the riddle correctly and I was the one to post it (live & learn). So thank you for pointing that out! I owe you one BIG apology!!!
