\[\large \displaystyle \dfrac{a}{\frac{b}{c}} = \dfrac{\frac{a}{b}}{c}\]
The above equation is a common mistake made when interpreting fractions.
How many ordered triplets of integers \({(a,b,c)}\) with \(-10\leq a,b,c \leq 10\) are there, such that the above equation is a true statement?

Given a positive integer \(n\), let \(p(n)\) be the product of the non-zero digits of \(n\). (If \(n\) has one digit, then \(p(n)\) is equal to that digit.) Let
\[S = p(1) + p(2) + \cdots + p(999). \]
What is the largest prime factor of \(S\)?
