The prime integers between 65 and 75 are 67, 71, and 73, so assumes one of those values; the prime integers between 45 and 55 are 47 and 53, so
assumes one of those values. Therefore, one of the following holds true:
There are five possible values for (20 appears twice here).

and
are prime integers.
and
. What is the greatest possible value of
?
The greatest possible value of is the least possible value of
subtracted from the greatest possible value of
. The least prime between 55 and 65 is 59, and the greatest prime between 85 and 95 is 89, so
and
give the greatest possible value of
, which is equal to
