If P is the product of all of the positive multiples of 11 less than 100, then what is the sum of the distinct primes of P?

(A) 22

(B) 28

(C) 45

(D) 49

(E) 89

Answer is B as follows
Positive multiple of 11 less than 100 are 11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99
These numbers can be written as
11
22=2*11
33=3*11
44=4*11 = \(2^2\)*11
55=5*11
66=6*11 = 2*3*11
77=7*11
88=8*11 = \(2^3\)*11
99=9*11 = \(3^2\)*11

P = 11*22*33*44*55*66*77*88*99 = 11*(2*11)*(3*11)*(\(2^2\)*11)*(5*11)*(2*3*11)*(7*11)*(\(2^3\)*11)*(\(3^2\)*11) = \(2^7*3^4*5*7*11^9\)
Prime factors are 2,3,5,7,11
Sum of these prime factors are 2+3+5+7+11 = 28

B is the answer.

(A) 22

(B) 28

(C) 45

(D) 49

(E) 89

We can create the following expression:

11 x 2(11) x 3(11) x 4(11) x 5(11) x 6(11) x 7(11) x 8(11) x 9(11)

We see that the prime factors of P are 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11. So, the sum of those distinct primes is 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 = 28.

Answer: B
