\n" ); document.write( "Let the \"4\" different positive integers be \"A\", \"B\", \"C\", and \"D\" such that \"A+%3C+B+%3C+C+%3C+D\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The average (arithmetic mean) of four distinct positive integers is \"152\", and the largest number \"highlight%28D=201%29\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, \"%28A%2BB%2BC%2BD%29%2F4+=+152\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This means \"A%2BB%2BC%2BD+=+608\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since \"D=201\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2BB%2BC%2B201+=+608\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2BB%2BC+=+608-201\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A%2BB%2BC+=+407\"....since the sum of \"A%2BB%2BC+\" is \"407\", and\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since \"A\" is the smallest positive integer, the \"highlight%28least%29\" \"highlight%28possible%29\" value of the \"A\" is \"highlight%28A=7%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then, \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"B%2BC+=+407-A\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"B%2BC+=+400\" => since both \"highlight%28less%29\" than \"highlight%28D=201%29\", then \"highlight%28B=C%29\" and both are \"highlight%28200%29\"\r
