We know that 27000001 = 27 × 1000000 + 1 27000001 = 27 \times 1000000 + 1 = 3 3 × 10 0 3 + 1 = 3^{3} \times 100^{3} + 1 = ( 3 × 100 + 1 ) ( 3 2 × 10 0 2 3 × 100 + 1 ) = (3 \times 100 + 1)(3^{2} \times 100^{2} - 3 \times 100 + 1) = 301 ( ( 3 × 100 + 1 ) 2 9 × 100 ) = 301 ((3 \times 100 + 1)^{2} - 9 \times 100) = 7 × 43 ( 3 × 100 3 × 10 + 1 ) ( 3 × 100 + 3 × 10 + 1 ) = 7 \times 43 (3 \times 100 - 3 \times 10 + 1)(3 \times 100 + 3 \times 10 +1) = 7 × 43 × 271 × 331 = 7 \times 43 \times 271 \times 331 So, 7, 43, 271, and 331 are prime factors of 27000001. So, their sum is 7 + 43 + 271 + 331 = 652 7+43+271+331 = \boxed{652} .
