Query about Question 6 from "Prime Numbers" [488]

https://www.gregmat.com/quizzes/quiz/10-prime-number-questions-from-easy-to-hard (Question 6)


In this question, why should we not consider multiples of 3 like 333,999 ? If we prime factorize them, we will get 2 distinct prime only

That’s true, but that doesn’t really answer the actual question, does it?

Can you express 333 as a product of two primes?
