    E=2

    Reason: 1 E=4 L and it can only be a 4 digit number, so 3-9 is out. Next, 4 zero is still 0 and it cannot be the same number. 4 ones is four but 4x4 is 16 and it is not the same as and 6 is not the same as L. When you use 2, 4x2 is 8 and 8x4 is 32 and the last number is 2 so it will be the same as L.

    Your answer is right Chao Yuan, although I have a little difficulty understanding what you were trying to say.
