Solution: From lines (4) and (5), we find that the divisor, when multiplied by 9, gives a three-digit number. This means that the divisor can be no greater than 111.
However, none of the numbers 100 to 110 has a factor between 991 and 999. So the divisor must be 111. (111 has a multiple 999). Thus the first digit of the quotient is 9. The second digit of the quotient is clearly 0. So the quotient is 909, and the dividend is 909 ¡¦ 111 = 100899. The rest can be worked out by actually carrying out the division.
Thus we have the solution:
