Consider the second product above. From the thousands digit, we see that G ⋅ B ≤ G and, hence, B = 1 . Then since G ⋅ G ends in B = 1 , we have G = 9 . Now the product is 1 F D 9 ⋅ 9 = 9 F D 1 . We cannot have F > 1 , because the product 1 F D 9 ⋅ 9 would have then five digits instead of 4, and we cannot have F = 1 since B = 1 . Thus F = 0 . From 1 0 D 9 ⋅ 9 = 9 D 0 1 , we find that the only choice for D is D = 8 .
The first product is now A 1 C 8 ⋅ E = 8 C 1 A , with A , C and E having values in { 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 } . Since A 1 C 8 ⋅ E is even, we see that 8 C 1 A comes from adding a carried digit to the product A ⋅ E . This carried digit is atmost 1, since it comes from 1 C 8 ⋅ E ; therefore, A ⋅ E is either 7 or 8 . Since A is even, we must have A ⋅ E = 8 . Now either A = 2 and E = 4 , or A = 4 and E = 2 . If A = 4 and E = 2 , we have 4 1 C 8 ⋅ 2 = 8 C 1 4 , which is impossible. We conclude that A = 2 , E = 4 , which gives us 2 1 C 8 ⋅ 4 = 8 C 1 2 .
Finally we verify that the only choice for C is C = 7 . Thus A = 2 , B = 1 , C = 7 , D = 8 , E = 4 , F = 0 , G = 9 .
And the sum A + B + C + D + E + F + G = 3 1 .
