Problem Statement
Using only prime numbers, a set is formed with the following conditions:
Any one-digit prime number can be in the set.
For a prime number with more than one digit to be in the set, the number that results from deleting only the first digit and also the number that results from deleting only the last digit must be in the set.
Write, of the sets that meet these conditions, the one with the greatest number of elements.
Justify why there cannot be one with more elements.Remember that the number is not prime.
