Math Puzzle

This is actually one of DS10's math problems and he (we) can't figure it out. I feel so dumb.

EFGH x 4 = HGFE
Find the numbers that each letter stands for.

E=2
F=1
G=7
H=8


2178 x 4 = 8712

Come on, I didn't even get a chance to SEE this post before you had the answer. Gimme another!

Yeah but can you show your work? I had math teachers that wouldn't give credit unless you showed how you got the answer

Seeing as there is only one number and two variables...

My teacher would be getting a paper full of chicken scratch--with the final answer being solved to get 4 so that I could show that I could multiply and divide.

They must do Sunshine Math too. I guess DS's school is a couple weeks behind them.

I'm not allowed to help him with it so I just posted the question to see if someone could figure it out. He's just going to guess at the numbers. They don't get graded on it so it's no big deal.



Lars624 ~ How long did it take you to figure it out?
