Non-zero Product Game

Algebra Level 5

[ 0 a b c ] [ d 0 e f ] = [ g h 0 i ] [ 70 0 31 12 ] \begin{bmatrix} 0 & a \\ b & c \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} d & 0 \\ e & f \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} g & h \\ 0 & i \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} -70 & 0 \\ 31 & 12 \end{bmatrix}

The elements a a to i i in the matrix equation above denote distinct digits from 1 1 to 9 9 such that every matrix has at least one prime element with one matrix having a pair of twin primes.

If S = [ a b c d e f g h i ] S = \begin{bmatrix}{a} && {b} && {c} \\ {d} && {e} && {f} \\ {g} && {h} && {i}\end{bmatrix} , compute det ( S ) |\det(S)| .


The answer is 57.
