"# [Pandigital Prime](https://projecteuler.net/problem=41)\n",
"\n",
"There's only $1! + 2! + 3! + \\cdots + 9! = 409113$ $n$-digit pandigital numbers. This is a small enough number to brute force, but we can easily optimize even further by applying a [divisibility rule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divisibility_rule).\n",
"\n",
"If the digits of a number sum to a multiple of 3, that number is divisible by 3. Since:\n",
"* the digits of every 5-digit pandigital number will sum to 15\n",
"* the digits of every 6-digit pandigital number will sum to 21\n",
"* the digits of every 8-digit pandigital number will sum to 36\n",
"* the digits of every 9-digit pandigital number will sum to 45\n",
"\n",
"all of these numbers will be divisible by 3, and therefore not be prime. Consequently, to find the largest $n$-digit pandigital prime, we only need to check 4-digit and 7-digit pandigital numbers."
