Perhaps that is a stupid question but:

what do '/' and '\' mean in the context of this puzzle?


Thx to anyone who'd care to explain

It is a way to indicate long division. So in this puzzle F*AB=GHI, GHI+JE=CDE and you can assume that JE<AB (that is to say, GHI should be the largest multiple of AB that is smaller than or equal to CDE).
