0 6 0 0 \enclose l o n g d i v 0 7 0 8 9
Looking at the red highlighted numbers as shown above, we see that a 2-digit positive integer multiply by 6 gives another 2-digit integer. Let x and y denote these aforementioned integers respectively, then 6 x = y < 1 0 0 . So 6 x < 1 0 0 or equivalently x < 6 1 0 0 = 1 6 + 3 2 . Thus x = 1 0 , 1 1 , 1 2 , … , 1 6 only.
Since the multiplication of x and 6 gives a last digit of 8, then by trial and error, of all the numbers 1 0 , 1 1 , … , 1 6 , only 1 3 satisfy this constraint. hence x = 1 6 and so y = 6 x = 7 8 . We can now fill in some some brackets in the long division:
0 6 1 3 \enclose l o n g d i v 0 7 7 8 9
Looking at the blue highlighted numbers. We know that 0 7 − 7 8 = 9 , or equivalently 0 7 = 7 8 + 9 = 8 7 , thus the remaining missing digit is 8. And now we can complete the entire long division:
0 6 1 3 \enclose l o n g d i v 8 7 7 8 9
The sum of all the missing digits is 1 + 3 + 8 + 7 = 1 9 .
