The LCM of the three number is 900 = (2^2)(3^2)(5^2).

The LCM of 60 and 150 is 300 = (2^2)(3^1)(5^2).

Since the GCD of the three numbers is 30, the third number must be a multiple of 30, and it must contain an additional factor of 3. So the third number is a multiple of 90.

Finish the problem informally, simply by finding which multiples of 90 make the LCM 900 -- that is, find the multiples of 90 that are factors of 900.

ANSWERS: 90, 180, and 450
