Let the constant be k
Then according to the question, we have
![{k}^{3} + {(2k)}^{3} + {(3k)}^{3} = 62208 {k}^{3} + {(2k)}^{3} + {(3k)}^{3} = 62208](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%7Bk%7D%5E%7B3%7D++%2B++%7B%282k%29%7D%5E%7B3%7D++%2B++%7B%283k%29%7D%5E%7B3%7D++%3D+62208)
![{k}^{3} + 8 {k}^{3} + 27 {k}^{3} = 62208 {k}^{3} + 8 {k}^{3} + 27 {k}^{3} = 62208](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=+%7Bk%7D%5E%7B3%7D++%2B+8+%7Bk%7D%5E%7B3%7D++%2B+27+%7Bk%7D%5E%7B3%7D++%3D+62208)
![36 {k}^{3} = 62208 36 {k}^{3} = 62208](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=36+%7Bk%7D%5E%7B3%7D++%3D+62208)
![{k}^{3} = 1728 {k}^{3} = 1728](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=+%7Bk%7D%5E%7B3%7D++%3D+1728)
![k = 12 k = 12](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=k+%3D+12)
Hence the numbers are 12, 24 and 36
Then according to the question, we have
Hence the numbers are 12, 24 and 36
