Question 149452
how do you find three consecutive numbers who's product is 15,600?
-----------
I'll assume you mean integers.
So, n*(n+1)*(n+2) = 15600
Find the cube root of 15600, = 24.99...
Since the numbers differ by only 1, they'll be approximately 25.
Try 24*25*26, which is 15600.
I doubt the instructor will accept the method, but it's the right answer.
