How many positive integers less than 500 are the product of exactly two distinct (meaning different) primes, each of which is greater than 10?
The first prime larger than 10 is 11. The following products of two primes, one of which is 11, are less than 500:
11 x 13, 11 x 17, 11x 19, 11 x 23, 11 x 29, 11 x 31, 11 x 37, 11 x 41, 11 x 43
The next prime number is 17. The following products are less than 500:
13 x 17, 13 x 19, 13 x 23, 13 x 29, 13 x 31, 13 x 37
The next prime is 17:
17 x 19, 17 x 23, 17 x 29
Finally:
19 x 23
