The brute force approach explores all possible combinations of integers that end with the digit k to see if they can sum up to num. This is straightforward but inefficient, as it can involve many unnecessary calculations.

Algorithm
3 steps- 1Step 1: Initialize a counter for the number of integers used.
- 2Step 2: Start from the smallest integer with units digit k and keep adding it to the sum until it exceeds num.
- 3Step 3: If the sum equals num, return the count of integers used; if it exceeds num, try the next larger integer with units digit k.
