Question

The product of three consecutive integers is 120. What is the smallest number?
4
5
8
7

Answer 1

Answer:

The smallest number is option (a) $4$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three consecutive integers be   $x,\ x+1,\ x+2$.

Given   $x(x+1)(x+2)=120$

Now we can select the value of $x$ from the options.

So let $x=4$  (option a), then   $4*5*6=120$

Hence the smallest number is $4$.

Hence the answer
