First off, let us find for the prime factors of this number, 1155. The prime factors are:

3 * 5 * 7 * 11 = 1155

3, 5, 7, 11

 

Since there are 4 prime factors, we multiply the two smallest prime factors to make this into three, so multiply 3 and 5, so:

15, 7, 11

 

Now the smallest possible sum is:

15 + 7 + 11 = 33

 

Answer:

33
