What is the sum of three whole numbers.
Answer to Problem 21STP
Explanation of Solution
In order to find what is the sum of three whole numbers, first let the number be
210 is divisible by 2 but not by 4 so the three number sequence must be:
Odd, even, odd.
So, we can rewrite the product as
Now, factorise 105, it ends in 5 it must be divisible by 5, giving 5*21.
Factorise 21 giving 7*3.
Re-arrange and the product is 5*3*7.
Since 3=(x+1)/2 we arrive at the required sequence:
So, the sum of the three numbers is
