I am an even number composed of two digits. Neither of my digits is zero. The product of my digits is 12, and my tens digit is greater than my units digit. What number am I?
62
Pairs of digits multiplying to 12 are (1,12 - invalid), (2,6), (3,4), (4,3), (6,2). Since the number is even, units must be even: (6,2) or (4,3 - odd). The tens digit must be greater than units, so 6 > 2. The number is 62.
