Problem Statement

We say that a quadrilateral QQ is tangential if a circle can be inscribed into it, i.e. there exists a circle CC that does not meet the vertices of QQ, such that it meets each edge at exactly one point. Let NN be the number of ways to choose four distinct integers out of {1,...,24}\{1, . . . , 24\} so that they form the side lengths of a tangential quadrilateral. Find the largest prime factor of NN.
