Question

There are 3 no, product of 1st 2 no is 551 and last 2 no is 1073. find the sum of 3 no?

Answer 1

let a,b,c be 3 numbers

then a*b = 551 and b*c = 1073

it means that both have b common

Now 551 is a prime number, hence its factors are 1 and 551

and 1073 can be written as either 1*1073 or 29*37, since 29*37 and 1*551 have Nothing in common we Can NOT choose it

hence we will choose 1*1073

now 1*1073 and 1*551 have 1 common

hence b=1

a=551

c=1073

answer a+b+c = 1625
