For all positive integers x,y; f(x) ≥ 0 and f(xy) = f(x) + f(y). If the digit at
the one’s of x is 6, then f(x) = 0. If f(1920) = 420 then f(2015) =?

Prove that if $5 \nmid x$, then $f(x)=0$ using the first 2 conditions.

I think F(2015)=420. Because F(5*384)=F(1920)=420=F(5)+F(384)=F(5) and F(384)=0 because 5 does not divide 384 . So F(2015)=F(5*13*31)=F(5)+F(13)+F(31)=F(5)=420
