Subject: [Jprogramming] Adding up digits in a long number

I want to add up the digits in a long 50-digit number.

Specifically, my question is

1. How to convert a number into a string... e.g. convert 12324343456456 into
a text format. I understand that using *":* works
2. Now, in the output from 1, I want to insert a blank space between each
letter. I am struggling to do that. I tried reshaping etc but not getting
the desired results. What is one single verb which will do the trick for me.
3. After that I\ will count the frequency of each number and multiply by the
number to get the total - This should not be difficult.

Help with 2 would be very useful.

Regards
