Problem

Solution

We note that any number in $S$ can be expressed as $a(10,000) + 2,020$ for some integer $a$. The problem requires that $a$ divides this number, and since we know $a$ divides $a(10,000)$, we need that $a$ divides 2020. Each number contributes the sum of the digits of $a$, as well as $2 + 0 + 2 +0 = 4$. Since $2020$ can be prime factorized as $2^2 \cdot 5 \cdot 101$, it has $(2+1)(1+1)(1+1) = 12$ factors. So if we sum all the digits of all possible $a$ values, and add $4 \cdot 12 = 48$, we obtain the answer.

Now we list out all factors of $2,020$, or all possible values of $a$. $1,2,4,5,10,20,101,202,404,505,1010,2020$. If we add up these digits, we get $45$, for a final answer of $45+48=\boxed{093}$.
