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).

(In reply to Computer solution by Larry)

To be clear, for (A,B,C)=(5,5,10)

P(A)=5

P(B)=5

P(C)=0

P(A)+P(B)=10=C

P(B)+P(C)=5 = A

P(C)+P(A)=5 = B

and each of A, B, and C is positive. The P values need not be positive.
