""" Pandigital prime Problem 41: https://projecteuler.net/problem=41 We shall say that an n-digit number is pandigital if it makes use of all the digits 1 to n exactly once. For example, 2143 is a 4-digit pandigital and is also prime. What is the largest n-digit pandigital prime that exists? All pandigital numbers except for 1, 4 ,7 pandigital numbers are divisible by 3. So we will check only 7 digit pandigital numbers to obtain the largest possible pandigital prime.
