There are several ways to handle this — some harder than others. Here’s the easiest approach in my mind. If you have three consecutive odd numbers, those numbers are very close to the same value. In other words, if the numbers are x, y, and z, then you could say that x≈y≈zx≈y≈z.
You could also infer that xyz≈y3xyz≈y3. I choose y3y3 as the approximate value of xyzxyzbecause y is the average of x, y, and z.
So xyz=15,525≈y3xyz=15,525≈y3
Which means…
At this point, we can confidently say that y is 25, which means that x and z are 23 and 27, respectively. Checking: 23*25*27 = 15,525.
