Q1) A bit of a sleepy proof (I'm gonna sleep soon). Tell me my errors and I'll rectify them.
Firstly, note that the LHS must be a multiple of 10, so 2 of the primes (we'll call them \(p_1\) and \(p_2\) are 2 and 5. We now have
\[p_1 p_2 \ldots p_n = 10(p_1+p_2+\ldots+p_n)\]
\[p_3 p_4 \ldots p_n = 7+p_3+p_4+\ldots+p_n\]
WLOG \(p_3 \leq p_4 \leq \ldots \leq p_n\)
We will now prove that there is only a maximum of 4 terms in this sequence. Assume that there are \(k\) terms for \(k \geq 5\).
\[p_3 p_4 \ldots p_k = p_3 + p_4 + \ldots + p_k+7\]
We have \(p_3+p_4+\ldots+p_k +7 \leq (k-2) p_k + 7\) and \(p_3 p_4 \ldots p_k \leq p_k^{k-2}\). We can prove via induction (or other methods) that \((k-2)p_k+7 < p_k^{k-2}\) for \(p_k \geq 3, k \geq 5\). Thus, no solutions exist when there are 5 or more terms.
We now have 3 cases:
Case 1: 4 terms in the sequence
\[p_1 p_2 p_3 p_4 = 10(p_1+p_2+p_3+p_4)\]
\[p_3 p_4 = 7 + p_3 + p_4\]
\[(p_3 - 1)(p_4 - 1) = 8\]
We must have \(p_3 - 1 =2\) and \(p_4-1=4\) so \(p_3=3\) and \(p_4 =5\). Thus, we have solution \(2, 3, 5, 5\).
Case 2: 3 terms in the sequence
\[p_1 p_2 p_3 = 10(p_1+p_2+p_3)\]
\[p_3 = 7 + p_3\]
No solutions here.
Case 3: 2 terms in the sequence
\[p_1 p_2 = 10(p_1+p_2)\]
\[1 = 7\]
No solutions here.
Therefore, only \(2, 3, 5, 5\) is the solution that satisfies.
