A-S=A -> S=0

S-G=G -> borrow 1 from the tens column -> S+10-G = G -> G=5

A-1 - D=D

R-1 = G -> R=6

E ≠D, so E=D+1, and E*E has the tens digit, D=E-1, only possibility is D=8, E=9

Consider the second dividend column, since the thousands digit of 955R is 5, and r=6, thuss 955*6 =
5730, and hence a=7, t=3

consider the subtraction 9X36 - 8595 = 6HI yields H=4, X=2

the second subtraction 6HIA-5730 = 68A becomes 64IA-5730=68A, hence I=1

It follows that the digits are,

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Notice that the last subtraction has the last digits S-S = M.
Therefore M must stand for 0.

Notice the last multiplication is DID * D = EMUS.

We need to try two digit combinations DI and multiply DI times ten, add D, and then multiply the result
by D. Find all of these that result in a four digit answer with the hundreds digit = zero.

There are 7 DI combinations that result in a four digit number with the second digit zero. They are:
(DI,EMUS) = (34,1029) (35,1059) (36,1089) (67,4056) (71,5019) (72,5089) and (87,7024)

We can eliminate 71 because that would have U=I and 87 because it has E=I.
Next we will try DID * S = DNIO. That will be the DID we used before times the last digit of the product
of DID*D. The only one of the combinations above that works for this is DI = 36.
363 * 9 = 3267
From these steps, we have 0=M 1=E 2=N 3=D 4=___ 5=___ 6=I 7=O 8=U 9=S
We need to match 4 and 5 with A or C, so we try DID * A = EACN.
363 * 4 = 1452 363 * 5 = 1815
From this we can tell that A=4 and C=5
It follows that the digits are,

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
