Alphabetical Sums

There is a family resemblance between puzzles where an arithmetical working has to be reconstructed from a few figures and a number of asterisks,

and those in which every digit is represented by a letter,

but they are really quite different.

The resemblance lies in the similarity of the process of solving.

Here is a little example of the latter class.

It can hardly be called difficult.

Can you reconstruct this simple division sum?

Every digit is represented by a different letter.
