Question

The sum of three numbers is 16.
Each of the three numbers is a factor of 24
What could the three numbers be??

Answer 1

Answer: 1, 3, 12

1 + 3 + 12 = 16

Answer 2

$\huge\bold{Given:-}$

• The sum of three numbers is 16.Each of the three numbers is a factor of 24What could the three numbers be?.

$\huge\bold{To \: Find:-}$

• The three numbers.

$\huge\bold{Solution:-}$

The three numbers are:-

• 2 ; 6 ; 8

${\mathtt{\huge{\underline{As:-}}}}$

• 2+6+8=16

${\mathtt{\huge{\underline{And:-}}}}$

• 2 , 6 and 8 are factors of 24.

${\mathtt{\huge{\underline{How!?}}}}$

• 2×12=24

• 6×4=24

• 8×3=24

:.The chosen numbers sum is 16 and are also factors of 24.

hence, our answer is correct.

Explanation:-

hey mate! the answer's concept is vary easy but still if you have some confusion read below↓↓

• For finding the three numbers we first found all the factors of 24.

• i.e., 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,and 24.

• The we have to find three such numbers whose sum is 16.

• So on pairing we got 2,6 an 8 very exactly 16 when added.

• as 6+2=8 and 8+8=16.

Hope it helped!
