IMO 18 it's asking for the sum of the DIFFERENT prime factors of 550. brake it down into factor 5*5*2*11. the only DIFFERENT ones are 5,2,11. add them up to get 18.
hope it helps...

Just to clarify, 2 IS a prime number. It is the first and only even prime number.

2+5+11 = 18 as Shibal outlined above[/quote]

550 = 55X10 or 25*22

so sum of factors = 5+11+2 =18
