Problem
Let be the largest integer that is the product of exactly 3 distinct prime numbers , , and , where and are single digits. What is the sum of the digits of ?
Solution
Since is a single digit prime number, the set of possible values of is .
Since is a single digit prime number and is the units digit of the prime number , the set of possible values of is .
Using these values for and , the set of possible values of is
Out of this set, the prime values are
Therefore the possible values of are:
The largest possible value of is .
So, the sum of the digits of is $1+5+3+3=12 \Rightarrow \boxed{\mathrm{(A)}\ 12}}$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
