One sees that
33,263=29*31*37=11,083+11,087+11,093.
The product of three
consecutive primes is equal to the sum of three consecutive primes.
Q. Can you find
such numbers having five or more consecutive primes in both the sum and
the product? (Please just send your
largest quantity of members example)

In 2003 in puzzle 222 I found the smallest solution for
37 primes:
23663*...*23993 = (23993#/23633#-29)/37-6601 + ... +
(23993#/23633#-29)/37+5887
A solution with 55 proven primes: 16447 * ... * 16993 =
16993#/16433#
= (16993#/16433#-47)/55-12273 + ... + (16993#/16433#-47)/55+14775

All the primes are proved primes (I used Mathematica).
