Answer 1

what is your question??

Answer 2

Answer: 17

Step-by-step explanation: Let the number of pages in 1st volume be x

And the number of pages in the 2nd volume will be x + 50

The number of pages in the 3rd volume will be 3/2 (x + 50)

= 3/2x + 75

1st page of 1st volume  = 1

1st page of 2nd volume = x + 1

1st page of 3rd volume = x + x + 50 + 1

= 2x + 51

1 + x + 1 + 2x  + 51 = 1709

3x + 53 = 1709

3x = 1659 (we subtracted 1709 from 53)

x = 552 (we divided 1659 by 3)

So the last number of page = 3/2 x + 75 + x + x + 50

= 3/2 x 552 + 75 + 1154

= 828 + 75 + 1154

= 2057

We will take LCM of this

and we will get the  LARGEST PRIME FACTOR WHICH IS 17
