How would we know to use 100?

Try an example.

I did the following:

A = 2 B = 3 C = 5

ABC = 235

BCA = 352

CAB = 523

Therefore, 235 + 352 + 523 = 1110

1110’s largest divisible integer is 111

I know that’s the right answer, but is my logic behind it correct?

Other than the rigour (which is fine since you simply used an example), yes.
