<PRE><B>Question 1206161</B>
&lt;br&gt;
Terrible English....&lt;br&gt;
The 2-digit number does not have a product.&lt;br&gt;
The statement should read &quot;...is such that the product of its digits is 12...&quot;&lt;br&gt;
And note &quot;its digits&quot;, not &quot;it&#39;s digits&quot;.&lt;br&gt;
Now a shortcut for this kind of problem, involving a 2-digit number and the 2-digit number formed by reversing the digits.&lt;br&gt;
The difference between the two 2-digit numbers is 9 times the difference of the two digits.&lt;br&gt;
In this problem, since the difference between the two 2-digit numbers is 9, the difference of the two digits is 1.  So the two digits have a product of 12 and a difference of 1, making the two digits 3 and 4.&lt;br&gt;
Finally, since the number with the digits reversed is larger, the number with the digits reversed is 43 and the original number is 34.&lt;br&gt;
ANSWER: 34&lt;br&gt;
