I'm in high school.  Don't ask that question.  Most education is
totally arbitrary and meaningless to begin with.



To address the problem, you need to teach the computer.  How would you
break up those numbers, in your head?  What do you think to yourself
as you do it?

How to solve it is quite simple.  Simply observe yourself thinking
while YOU solve it, before you write any code.  That thinking process
is the psuedocode that you will write in C/C++.  I know it sounds
crazy, observe yourself thinking, but it does work.
