x*(x+1)*(x+2) = 504
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E3+%2B+3x%5E2+%2B+2x+-+504+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "It's likely to be integers, so look for integer roots.
\n" ); document.write( "504 = 2*2*2*3*3*7 so it's likely a root will be 7 or a multiple of 7. Plus, the dimensions are 3 sequential numbers.
\n" ); document.write( "504 = 7*8*9, so that's the answer.
