This is a homework question. I won't answer it directly, but I'll ask you some questions that lead you to the answer.

First, divide 30030 by 30 (why? because it looks like the larger number is divisible by 30). Does it divide evenly? If the answer is yes, both the answer and 30 are factors.

Use trial division to identify the prime factors of 30 and the answer to the above division, assuming the result was not a decimal.

Hint: there are six prime factors of 30030, and this particular group of prime factors is very special. These factors are the six _____ contiguous prime numbers. I found the answer in just a couple of minutes, using only paper and pencil.
