Our results probably won't agree. From the example 9999 I assumed not to use and after hundred. Maybe Don can clarify this?

Yes, in America at least, the word "and" is reserved for the decimal point. In other words, 4278.16 would be "four thousand two hundred seventy eight AND 16 hundredths." That's what we teach the kids.

So, yes, 359, and if you include zero (which is evenly divisible by 4) in the tally, you get the model number of IBM's most famous and (probably) popular mainframe computer. Hmm, maybe that is the basis of how they named it.
