Digital Product Triples (Posted on 2023-09-05)

The digital product P(N) of an integer N is the product of its decimal digits.

For example, P(128)=16.

Find all sets of three positive integers A, B and C such that:
A = P(B)+P(C)
B = P(A)+P(C)
C = P(A)+P(B).

There are only three sets that satisfy the given conditions, and these are:
(A,B,C) (- (5,5,10), (36,36,36), (498,498,576) so that:
All possible triplets are given by:
(A,B, C) = (5,5,10), (5,10,5), (10,5,5), (498, 498, 576), (498,576,498), (576,498, 498), and (36,36,36)
