All solutions, and there is an infinite number of them, can be found from the equation
y = x/3 + 15. Eg x = 3, y = 16; x = 12, y = 19; x = 99, y = 48

Suppose the number is x Then number diminished by 5 is (x-5) Six times the number diminished by 5 is 6*(x-5) So 6*(x-5) = 72 Divide both sides by 6: (x-5) = 12 Add 5 to both sides: x = 17
Factor means a number times another numbers equals a larger number. Since 7 can be called "a number" and 168 is the "larger number" then the "another number" would be something the multiplys by 7 to equal 168. That number would be 24
It is 1000 times larger.
Larger as the kilometer is one thousand times a meter.
There can be no such integers: a smaller integer cannot be 5 times the larger number.
