Question 3

Let X be a four - digit positive integer such that the unit digit of X is prime and the product of all digits of X is also prime. How many such integers are possible?

Solution

Given that unit digit of $$X$$ and product of all 4 digits of $$X$$ are prime.

The product of two numbers to be prime is possible only when one of the numbers is prime and the other is โ€˜1โ€™.

The possibilities for the prime unit digits are - 2,3,5,7 ย  ย ย (Note that 1 is not a prime number)

Hence the possibility of remaining 3 digits, considering the product of all 4 digits to be prime is โ€˜111โ€™ only.

Hence all the possible numbers are 1112,1113,1115,1117

$$\therefore$$ Total 4 integers are possible.
