What are the largest and smallest 5-digit numbers that satisfy the following conditions?

  • Each digit of the number is a prime number.
  • Each successive pair of digits forms a 2-digit number that is NOT a prime number.
  • Each of the prime digits must appear at least once in the 5-digit number.

Note: I don't care either it is calculation problem or programming. I just know it uses knowledge of basic mathematics.

Chintamani, you have 23 and 53 on your lowest and largest numbers respectively, which are prime numbers.

If I have understood the conditions correctly, the numbers satisfying all the three conditions should be:

Largest: 35127

Smallest: 32751

If 1 is not considered Prime number, then there is no solution to the question

because there are only 4 prime numbers with single digit (2, 3, 5 and 7)

and one of the condition is:

"Each successive pair of digits forms a 2-digit number that is NOT a prime number", so prime number with 2-digits can't used at all.

Parbatya is correct as usual.

The clue for solution is:
1. 3 should be the first digit otherwise we will get 2 digit numbers as prime (23, 53, 73)
2. With 3 in the beginning, 7 can not be 2nd digit as 37 is prime.


Rest you can add...
