× B A A A A B A B
A cryptarithm is an arithmetical puzzle in which each digit of an arithmetical operation is assigned a definite letter as in a code.
Solve the cryptarithm above. Give your answer as A + 0 . B .
Details and Assumptions :
As an explicit example: if the answer for A is 9 and B is 9, Your answer must be 9.9.

( 1 0 A + B ) ⋅ ( 1 0 A + A ) = B + 1 0 A + 1 0 0 A + 1 0 0 0 B
( 1 0 A + B ) ⋅ 1 1 A = 1 1 ⋅ ( 9 1 B + 1 0 A )
1 0 A 2 + A B = 9 1 B + 1 0 A
1 0 A 2 + A B − 1 0 A = 9 1 ⋅ B
A ( 1 0 A + B − 1 0 ) = 9 1 ⋅ B
And since A ∣ 9 1 ⋅ B and A ≤ 9 then A = B or A = 7 . In the first case we get that 1 1 A = 1 0 1 which is a contradiction and in the second we get that B = 5 .
So A = 7 and B = 5

AB x AA = BAAB
(10 A + B) (10 A + A) = 1000 B + 100 A + 10 A + B
(10A + B) 11 A = 1001 B + 110 A
110 A² + 11 AB = 1001 B + 110 A
10 A² + AB = 91 B + 10 A [dividing by 11]
10 A² + AB - 10 A = 91 B
10 (A² - A) = (91 - A) B
B = 10 ( 9 1 − A ) ( A 2 − A )
Trying each A (0-9)
A = 1, B = 0;
A = 7, B = 5;
Since 10 x 11 = 110 = a four-digit number
A = 7
B = 5
75 * 77 = 5775.
