Fill up grids such that ++=1

In the following grid, fill up the numbers from 1 to 9 (without repetition) such that their sum is 1.

++=1

Solution provided by Mark, another contributor of this blog:

I would begin with:

912

since this is the largest addend possible. This leaves 14.

Observing that:

14=1768=25+768=534+768

We now have:

912+534+768=1
