Let's suppose that a = 9 , so that a b c d e = 9 0 0 0 0 + b c d e . Since b c d e divides a b c d e , it also divides a b c d e − b c d e = 9 0 0 0 0 . Therefore, a good candidate for b c d e is the largest 4-digit divisor of 9 0 0 0 0 that is not a multiple of 1 0 (so that e = 0 ). Since 9 0 0 0 0 = 2 4 3 2 5 4 , the number that satisfies this condition is 3 2 5 4 = 5 6 2 5 . The other three conditions on a b c d e also are satisfied: 6 2 5 , 2 5 and 5 divide 9 5 6 2 5 . Therefore, the answer is 9 5 6 2 5 .
