Substitute the letters by a different digit from 0 to 9 to satisfy this cryptarithmic long division problem.

....N K T
...-------------------
F A R |...F R M N K B
...A K K N
...---------------------
..... A B I K
...AM O K
...---------------
.....R T I B
.....R A K T
...-------------
.....R A F

Note:

(i) None of F, N, A and R can be 0.

(ii) All the dots are posited with a view to facilitate the formatting, and none of the said dots represent decimal points, or correspond to any arithmetic operations.

Actually, I think that as long as you state that none of the letters represent the *same* digit, you don't need to give the hint about which ones aren't 0. Figuring out which is 0 is pretty simple.

A = 2
B = 7
F = 3
I = 0
K = 8
M = 5
N = 9
O = 6
R = 1
T = 4
