Question

Find three natural numbers whose sum and product are equal

Answer 1

The three natural numbers whose sum and product are equal are 1,2 and 3.

• Natural numbers are those numbers that can be used while counting like 1,2,...so on. Zero is not a natural number as it has no use while counting.
• Now, we need three natural numbers such that their sum and product are equal. So, 1,2 and 3 have the same product and sum

• The sum 1+2+3 = 6 and the product 1*2*3 = 6. So, 1,2, and 3 have the same sum and product as shown above and these are natural numbers also.

Answer 2

Concept

Natural numbers are the numbers that are utilised for counting and ordering in mathematics. Cardinal numbers are those that are used to count, whereas ordinal numbers are those that are used to order.

Given

Natural numbers whose sum and product are equal

Find

We are asked to find three natural numbers whose sum and product are equal.

Solution

By considering natural numbers

Let three natural numbers be

$1,2,3$

Sum of these natural numbers $=1+2+3=6$

Product of these natural numbers $=1\times2\times3=6$

Hence  1,2,3 are three natural numbers whose sum and product are equal .
