Elementary Brain Teaser

Fun and accessible problems for younger students or beginners. Posted every Monday, these weekly brain teasers kickstart your week with a mental warm-up.

Arrange the digits 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 to find the maximum product produced by a three-digit and two-digit number created using these 5 digits.  For example, 456 x 78 = 35568 and 564 x 87 = 49068.  Therefore 49068 would be the greater product.  Your task is to find the maximum product using these five digits (using each digit only once) arranged as three-digit and two-digit factors?
