SOLUTION: For any integers n, let ® n be defined as the sum of the distinct prime factors of n. For instance, ® 36=5, because 2 and 3 are the only prime factors of 36 and
2+3=5.

Question 447147: For any integers n, let ® n be defined as the sum of the distinct prime factors of n. For instance, ® 36=5, because 2 and 3 are the only prime factors of 36 and
2+3=5.
What is the smallest value of w for which ® w=12 ?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The only way to express 12 as a sum of distinct prime numbers is 5+7. Therefore the smallest value of n that satisfies is (5^1)(7^1) = 35, because 5+7 = 12.
