Problem

What is the largest five-digit integer whose digits have a product equal to the product ?
Solution
Since we want a large 5-digit integer, we want the digits to the left to be as large as possible. We prime factorize the product to get . The largest single-digit number is , which can be found by . This leaves us . We can get the next largest number, , by using . This leaves . We can't multiply any of those numbers together to get a single-digit number, so we have that the remaining three digits are , and . Ordering the digits from largest to smallest, we get .
Final answer
