self Other Question

All of the numerals in a number are different than each other. For all the neighboring numeral pairs in this number, the number formed by these neighboring numerals or its consecutive is a prime number. What is the largest number satisfying these conditions?

Example: 1029 Pairs: 10 (11 is prime); 02 (both 2 and 3 are primes) and 29 (29 is prime).
Note: For the number x, its consecutive is x+1. suppose we are given three relations.
a+b+c=X
ab+bc+ca=Y
abc=Z
X,Y,Z are known, how can we find a,b,c
