I don't understand the notation used in the question. What is that vertical bar in the middle? What does it stand for?

The vertical bar means divides . The sentence a ∣ b means a divides b . In other words, b is divisible by a . For example, 3 ∣ 1 5 .
Let m = 0 and we get f ( n ) ∣ n .
Now let n = 0 and we get ( m 2 + f ( 0 ) ) ∣ m f ( m ) . But by the previous deduction, we see that m f ( m ) ∣ m 2 . Therefore, by transitivity, ( m 2 + f ( 0 ) ) ∣ m 2 .
Therefore m 2 + f ( 0 ) ≤ m 2 , so f ( 0 ) ≤ 0 . On the other hand, we must have f ( 0 ) ≥ 0 , so therefore f ( 0 ) = 0 .
Therefore, m 2 ∣ m f ( m ) , so m ∣ f ( m ) .
So, for all n ∈ N , we have f ( n ) ∣ n and n ∣ f ( n ) . Since the function is nonnegative, it must be that f ( n ) = n .
Hence f ( 2 0 1 4 ) = 2 0 1 4 , so N ( m o d 1 0 0 0 ) = 1 4 .

Setting m = n gives: n 2 + f ( n ) ∣ n f ( n ) + n ⟹ n 2 + f ( n ) ∣ n ( n 2 + f ( n ) ) − ( n f ( n ) + n ) = n 3 − n . Setting n = 2 gives: f ( 2 ) + 4 ∣ 2 3 − 2 = 6 . Hence f ( 2 ) = 2 . Setting m = 2 , n = 1 in the original expression gives: f ( 1 ) + 4 ∣ 2 f ( 2 ) + 1 , that is, f ( 1 ) + 4 ∣ 5 . Hence f ( 1 ) = 1 .
Now setting m = 1 in the original expression gives: f ( n ) + 1 ∣ n + 1 ⟹ f ( n ) + 1 ≤ n + 1 , that is, f ( n ) ≤ n . On the other hand, setting n = 1 in the original expression gives: m 2 + 1 ∣ m f ( m ) + 1 ⟹ m 2 + 1 ≤ m f ( m ) + 1 , that is, f ( m ) ≥ m since m is positive. Combining these two results, we deduce that f ( n ) = n for all n ∈ N .
Therefore there's only one possible value f ( 2 0 1 4 ) = 2 0 1 4 ≡ N . Hence the answer is: 2 0 1 4 m o d 1 0 0 0 = 1 4
