exactly xD
But I hope the solution is the simplest.

@Chew-Seong Cheong – 我的感觉就是,扫一眼字母就肯定排除偶数,然后排除1,3,5(重复数字),最后9太大
Hence, A = 1 , B = 4 , C = 2 , D = 8 , E = 5 , F = 7 , G = 9 . The sum is 3 6 .
You don't need to test for all values from 1 to 9 to get F. Note that GGGGGG=111111G=3×7×11×13×37×G. This means that F=3 or 7. Then the questions becomes a lot easier. This means that G in both cases is 9. Now if F is 3 then ABCDEF=333333 which isn't possible as A,B,C,D,E,F are distinct. This means that F=7 and this means that ABCDEF=999999/7=142857.

That was a good approach! Never thought of it....thanks!
GGGGGG=111111G=3×7×11×13×37×G. (This means that F=3 or 7) how ????

Because F is a single digit positive integer so it can only be 3 or 7. Also it can't be equal to G because A,B,C,D,E,F,G all are distinct.
I actually tried divisions for 111111, 222222, 333333, ..., 999999 and found that 999999 ÷ 7 = 142857.
1 + 4 + 2 + 8 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 36
Answer: 3 6
GGGGGG=111111*G=3 * 7 * 13 * 37 * G, which means that F can only be 3 or 7 and G=9. Since when F=3, A=B=C=D=E=F, F=7. 999999/7=142857
What do you mean by 111111G=371337?

⇒ 9 9 9 9 9 9 ÷ 7 = 1 4 2 8 5 7 ⇒ A + B + C + D + E + F + G = 1 + 4 + 2 + 8 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 3 6 .
