Puzzles and Curious Problems by Henry Ernest Dudeney: $102$

Juggling with Digits
Arrange the ten digits in three arithmetical sums,
employing three of the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division,
and using no signs except the ordinary ones implying those operations.
Here is an example to make it quite clear:
$3 + 4 = 7$; $9 - 8 = 1$; $30 \div 6 = 5$.
But this is not correct, because $2$ is omitted, and $3$ is repeated.
