Aug 30, 2019 at 2:16 comment added Bernardo Recamán Santos @Conifers No, I don´t know of any straightforward way of finding the minimum. In fact, I was surprised (and shocked!) to see you had lowered the minimum I had in mind (1080). I start from abundant numbers and construct plausible magic graphs using their many divisors. I don´t really know how to go backwards efficiently other then by pondered trial and error.
Aug 30, 2019 at 1:22 comment added Conifers @BernardoRecamánSantos I just checked your profile found that you are the math teacher! I am curious about if any mathematical property or concept could be applied on such this question to help find the minimum product or fill in the integers quickly? I just think like coloring problem or prime labeling may help, but need someone's comment due to I am not major in math :P

Aug 26, 2019 at 15:50 comment added JMP You could try (4,3,2), which is less than (3,3,3)
Aug 26, 2019 at 15:17 comment added Bernardo Recamán Santos Not far, and uses precisely the ideas you are trying.
Aug 26, 2019 at 15:13 comment added Conifers @BernardoRecamánSantos Is the answer closer to the minimum or still far away? :P
Aug 26, 2019 at 15:04 comment added Bernardo Recamán Santos Nice, but not the minimum known to me.
