Question

The sum of three consecutive multiple of 8 is 888 the least number among them

Answer 1

let three no's be x, x+8,x+16

x+ x+8+x+16 = 888
3x+ 24 = 888
3x= 864
x= 288

Answer 2

Here is your answer

Let,
The three consecutive multiples of 8 be x, x + 8 and x + 16.

x + (x + 8) + (x + 16) = 888  (Given)

⇒ 3x + 24 = 888

⇒ 3x = 888 – 24

⇒ 3x = 864

⇒ x = 288


Number are:-

x=288

x + 8 = 288 + 8 = 296

x + 16 = 288 + 16 = 304


Hence,

The three consecutive multiples of 8 are 288, 296 and 304.
