the last two digits have to be divisible by 
That means the last two digits of this integer must be
For a number to be divisible by the sum of all the digits must be divisible by 
Since we must account for the two 's, the sum of the rest of the digits must be one more than a multiple of The only way to make this happen is with 9 's. However, we also need one
The smallest integer that meets all these conditions is 
. The last four digits are
