(4 + 1) x 3 + 2.
The numbers that go into 17 are 1 and 17, as 17 is a prime number and only divisible by 1 and itself. The numbers that go into 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, and 20, as 20 is a composite number with multiple factors.
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 +2 + 1 = 17
17 = (4+2)*3 - 1
20
The only whole numbers that can be multiplied to make 17 are 17 and 1, and -17 and -1.Another reply: Choose any number (except zero) for your first number. Divide 17 by this number, to get the second number. For example, 1 x 17; 2 x 8.5, 3 x 5.67, etc.But bear in mind that the question refers to WHOLE numbers, which 8.5, 5.67 etc, are not.
EXAMPLE: The last 2 remaining numbers are 14 and 17 1) list all the numbers in between the 2 numbers 14, 15, 16, 17 2) cross the 14 and 17 out 3) You are left with 15 and 16 4) the Number between these 2 numbers is 15.5 median=15.5
1 and 17.
The likely square numbers are 36 and 1. (6^2 - 1^2) However, the square numbers 324 and 289 also work. (18^2 - 17^2)
17 is a deficient number because half the sum its factors is less than 17 [(1 + 17)/2 = 9)]. All odd numbers less than 945 are deficient.
2+3+5+7=17 or 1 and 7 or 1 + 3 + 13=17 or 5 + 5 +5 + 2 =17 or 3 + 7 + 7=17.
1 and 17
Yes, 1 and 17.
