My daughter just came home with this problem and I feel really stupid cause I have looked it over for an hour and cannot get it. I just finished a calc II refresher course and maybe I am overthinking(nuking) the problem. Sure, I can randomly plug and chug some numbers through my calculator, but was wondering if someone would provide a little insight so I can explain to her how to do it?
In this puzzle, three digits are provided as clues. Fill in the boxes(X) [DECIMALS ARE ONLY PLACE HOLDERS TO GET THE CORRECT FORMATTING] below with the prime numbers, 2,3,5,or 7 so the multiplication makes sense.
Please forgive me for the poor formatting of the equation
