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 
.
