Hi dear,.
let the numbers be a,b,c.
From your question,
ab=24---(1)
bc=48---(2)
ca=32---(3)
from 1,
b=24/a----(4)
put 4 in 2
(24/a)c=48
24c=48a
c=48a/24
c=2a----(5)
put 5 in 3
2a�=32
a�=16
a=4
put a=4 in 1
4b=24
b=24/4
b=6
put b=6 in 5
c=2*4
c=8
The first,second and third numbers are 4,6,8 respectively.
HOPE THIS HELPS?
