If you have 340 things, how many groups of 17 could you form? 340/17 = 20 So 17 is 1/20th of 340. 1/20 = 0.05, or 5% To double check: 340 * .05 = ?

340 / 20 = 17 -------- 3 / 4 = 0.75
17% = 17/100
Let the length be L, then the width = L-3The area = L x W = L x (L-3) = L2-3Lthe area is 340 which = L2 - 3L, 340 = L2-3L, 340-340=L2-3L-340So, L2-3L-340 =0 Factoring this, (L-20)(L+17) = 0Set L-20 equal to zero, L-20 = 0, L-20+20=+20, L=20so, L=20 inches and width = L-3=20-3=17 inchesL=-17 is not a solution since length can't be negative.Your answer islength = 20 inches, width = 17 inches
Let the width be (x-3) and the length be x: width*length = area (x-3)*x = 340 square inches x2-3x-340 = 0 Solving the above quadratic equation works out as: x = -17 or x = 20 it must be the latter because dimensions can't be negative. Therefore: length = 20 inches and width = 17 inches Check: 20*17 = 340 square inches
340 is a composite number because it has factors other than 1 and itself. It is not a prime number.The 12 factors of 340 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 17, 20, 34, 68, 85, 170, and 340.The proper factors of 340 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 17, 20, 34, 68, 85, and 170 or,if the definition you are using excludes 1, they are 2, 4, 5, 10, 17, 20, 34, 68, 85, and 170.The prime factors of 340 are 2, 2, 5, and 17. Note: There is repetition of these factors, so if the prime factors are being listed instead of the prime factorization, usually only the distinct prime factors are listed.The 3 distinct prime factors (listing each prime factor only once) of 340 are 2, 5, and 17.The prime factorization of 340 is 2 x 2 x 5 x 17 or, in index form (in other words, using exponents), 22 x 5 x 17.NOTE: There cannot be common factors, a greatest common factor, or a least common multiple because "common" refers to factors or multiples that two or more numbers have in common.
