the sum of three consecutive numbers is 216. What are the three numbers?
216 = 2*2*2*3*3*3
To find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 216 and 8, we first need to factorize both numbers. 216 = 2^3 * 3^3 and 8 = 2^3. The LCM is the product of the highest power of each prime factor that appears in the factorization of the two numbers. Therefore, the LCM of 216 and 8 is 2^3 * 3^3 = 216.
The prime factors of 216 are: 2, 3
2 and 3 are the smallest prime numbers. So answer is 2^3 * 3^3 = 216
3 + 6 + 12 = 21 3 x 6 x 12 = 216
216 = 2*2*2*3*3*3

Let the 3 consecutive numbers be (a-1), a, and (a+1) So, (a-1) + (a) + (a+1) = 216 You add the left-hand side and get: 3a =216 You divide and get: a = 216/3 = 72 So, (a-1) = 72-1 = 71 a = 72 (a+1)= 72+1 = 73 Check: 71+72+73 = 216
The numbers are 215, 216, 217, and 218.
The numbers are 215, 216, 217 and 218.
x+x+1+x+2=216 3x+3=216 3x=213 71,72,73
6 x 6 x 6
divide 216 by 3 (72) subtract 1 and add 1 71, 72 and 73
By the very fact that it ends in an even number , '6', ,then it is divisible by '2' . Hence it is a compound number. NB . Other than '2' , there are no other even prime numbers. All prime numbers are 'odd' numbers. NNB EVen numbers end in 0,2,4,6,8 Odd Numbers end in 1,3,5,7,9. NNNB Not all odd numbers are prime numbers. e.g. 33 = 3 x 11
