Let the position coordinates of A , B , D , E be ( t 2 , 2 t ) , ( t 2 1 , − t 2 ) , ( t 1 2 , 2 t 1 ) , ( t 1 2 1 , − t 1 2 ) respectively. Then
A D = ( t 1 − t ) ( i ^ ( t 1 + t ) + 2 j ^ )
E B = ( t 1 − t 1 1 ) ( i ^ ( t 1 1 + t 1 ) − 2 j ^ )
⟹ A D . E B = ( t t 1 ( t 1 − t ) 2 ) 2
Now, t 1 = t + 1 t − 1 , or − t − 1 t + 1 . (since A B and D E are mutually perpendicular).
So A D . E B = ( t 3 − t t 4 + 2 t 2 + 1 ) 2 .
This will be minimum when t 6 − 5 t 4 − 5 t 2 + 1 = 0 , the minimum value being 4 2 = 1 6 . Therefore the required answer is 1 6 0 0 0 .

Let the slope of A B be m . Since it goes through the focus at F ( 1 , 0 ) , the line A B has the equation y = m ( x − 1 ) , and since A B is perpendicular to D E at F , the line D E has the equation y = − m 1 ( x − 1 ) .
The intersection points of these lines with the parabola y 2 = 4 x are A ( ( m 1 + m 2 + 1 ) 2 , 2 ( m 1 + m 2 + 1 ) ) , B ( ( m 1 − m 2 + 1 ) 2 , 2 ( m 1 − m 2 + 1 ) ) , D ( ( m − m 2 + 1 ) 2 , − 2 ( m − m 2 + 1 ) ) , and E ( ( m + m 2 + 1 ) 2 , − 2 ( m + m 2 + 1 ) ) .
A D ⋅ E B = ( D x − A x ) ( B x − E x ) + ( D y − A y ) ( B y − E y ) , which simplifies to A D ⋅ E B = m 2 4 ( m 2 + 1 ) 2 .
By the AM-GM inequality, the terms m 2 and 1 have the relation 2 m 2 + 1 ≥ m 2 ⋅ 1 , which can be rearranged to m 2 4 ( m 2 + 1 ) 2 ≥ 1 6 or A D ⋅ E B ≥ 1 6 .
Therefore, the minimum value of A D ⋅ E B is M = 1 6 , and ⌊ 1 0 0 0 M ⌋ = 1 6 0 0 0 .
