and 7 in the boxes below to get the largest productible
Each number may be used only once

Answer 1

7*6543=45801

Explanation:

We have the digits 34567 and must arrange them into a product with the largest possible value.

It's clear that we must place the largest digits to the left, so they represent larger numbers to multiply.

Let's try with:

7654*3=22962

765*43=32895

76*543=41268

7*6543=45801

This last combination definitely produces the largest product

Answer: 7*6543=45801
