This rebus can be complicated by replacing numbers with letters. In the picture above, multiplication of two 3-digit numbers by a column is encrypted. Let’s look closer at the solution:

Look at line 4 where we have the result of ABC × A multiplication. If the last digit of this product equals A, it means it is not 1, otherwise, C would also equal 1. At the same time, A can’t be bigger than 3, otherwise, the product would have a 4-digit number. It means A = 2 or A = 3.
If A = 3, C should equal 1. But it’s not correct because ABC × С makes up a 4-digit number in line 3. It means A = 2, while A × C should give the number that ends with 2. It means C = 6.
Let’s look at line 5 where we have the result of ABC × B or 2B6 × B. The last digit of this product equals B and we also get it with 6 × B. It means B can be hiding either 4 or 8. In the first case, we will have 246 × 4 = 984, which doesn’t correspond to a 4-digit product. It means B = 8.

All in all, A = 2, B = 8, and C = 6. Therefore, 286 × 826 = 236 236. In line 3 we get 1 716, in line 4 we get 572, in line 5 we get 2 288. The rebus is done!
