1 Let , , , , , , be 7 distinct prime numbers, and the sum of two of , , is 800. Let be the difference between the largest and smallest of these 7 prime numbers. Find the maximum possible value of . (2001 China Mathematical Olympiad Problem)
Problem 811
Official solution
1. Let's assume , so , but one of , , is 800, so . Also, , are not prime numbers, so . Let , , noting that , the smallest prime solution for (since are not prime numbers), at this point, , , , are all prime numbers, hence the maximum possible value of is 1594.
