Given a positive integer $n$, let $p(n)$ be the product of the non-zero digits of $n$. (If $n$ has only one digits, then $p(n)$ is equal to that digit.) Let \[ S=p(1)+p(2)+p(3)+\cdots+p(999). \] What is the largest prime factor of $S$?

In an attempt to copy down from the board a sequence of six positive integers in arithmetic progression, a student wrote down the five numbers, \[ 113,137,149,155,173, \] accidentally omitting one. He later discovered that he also miscopied one of them. Can you help him and recover the original sequence?
