Question 4 Let S be the set of positive integers N with the property that the last four digits of N are
Not yet answered 2020 , and when the last four digits are removed, the result is a divisor of N . For example
42, 020 is in S because 4 is a divisor of 42, 020 . Find the sum of all the digits of all the
