It can be shown that the polynomial $n^4 + 4n^3 + 2n^2 + 5n$ is a multiple of 6 for every integer $n$. It can also be shown that 6 is the largest integer satisfying this property.

Define $M(a, b, c)$ as the maximum $m$ such that $n^4 + an^3 + bn^2 + cn$ is a multiple of $m$ for all integers $n$. For example, $M(4, 2, 5) = 6$.

Also, define $S(N)$ as the sum of $M(a, b, c)$ for all $0 < a, b, c ≤ N$.

We can verify that $S(10) = 1\,972$ and $S(10\,000) = 2\,024\,258\,331\,114$.

Let $F_k$ be the Fibonacci sequence:

  • $F_0 = 0$, $F_1 = 1$ and
  • $F_k = F_{k - 1} + F_{k - 2}$ for $k ≥ 2$.

Find the last 9 digits of $\sum S(F_k)$ for $2 ≤ k ≤ 1\,234\,567\,890\,123$.
