$799777779779979$ and $111111811818111$ are numbers of $2$ non-zero digits that can be factored into $2$-digit numbers. They are $97$-smooth numbers.



Are there any larger examples?

    Note that "friable" is a more descriptive and more modern term than the conventional "smooth" in this context.

    According to my calculation, a larger example must have more than $20$ digits. The ratio of smooth numbers decreases drastically , so it is well possible that no larger example exists.
