Solution
If we start off with the first digit, we know that it can't be
since
is not a factor of
. We go down to the digit
, which does work since it is a factor of
. Now, we have to know what digits will take up the remaining four spots. To find this result, just divide
. The next place can be
, as it is the largest factor, aside from
. Consequently, our next three values will be
and
if we use the same logic. Therefore, our five-digit number is
, so the sum is
.
