Problem with statement

#1

Hi, Correct me pleas, I think i have understood the question wrong. But isn’t it always possible to have a for prime factors of a number summing up to another, like in the case of 1000 , 997*3 can be the answer?

Hey you have to assume all the factors of a number including 1 and the number itself. Like if you are assuming 9 then consider (1+3+9 = 13)
