It is: 166*6 = 996
All Factors of 996:1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 83, 166, 249, 332, 498, 996
It is 6*Int(999/6) = 6*int(166.5) = 6*166 = 996
there would be many equations... here are three 995+1=996 1992/2=996 1000-4=996
CM = 900, XC = 90 and VI = 6. CMXCVI

The two tens, on either side of 996 are 990 and 1000. 996 - 990 = 6 so 996 is 6 away from the lower ten. 1000 - 996 = 4 so 996 is 4 away from the higher ten. Since 4 is less than 6, 1000 is the nearer ten.
It is: 166*6 = 996

You can solve this problem algebraically: (X) + (X+1) + (X+2) + (X+3) = 3990 4X + 6 = 3990 4X + 6 - 6 = 3990 - 6 4X = 3984 4X/4 = 3984/4 X = 996 Therefore, the 4 numbers are 996, 997, 998, 999 996 + 997 + 998 + 999 = 3990
It is 6*Int(999/6) = 6*int(166.5) = 6*166 = 996
Easy! 166, you see all you need to do is divide 996 and 6! Hope this helps. :)
