If the product of three continuous natural numbers is 336, what is the sum of them,

If the product of three continuous natural numbers is 336, what is the sum of them,


6 + 7 + 8 = 21, because 6 * 7 * 8 = 336



The product of three continuous natural numbers is 336. The three natural numbers are______ .


336 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 = 8 × 6 × 7, so the three natural numbers are 6, 7 and 8 respectively



The product of three continuous natural numbers is 336. The three natural numbers are______ .


336 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 7 = 8 × 6 × 7, so the three natural numbers are 6, 7 and 8 respectively



If the product of three continuous natural numbers is 336, then their sum is?


If you're in high school
The way to do it is
(X-1)(X+1)*X=336
X^3-X-336=0
If you're in primary school
The way to do it is
7 * 7 * 7 = 343
Closest to 336
So find the middle number
And then check it out
So the answer is 7 * 3 = 21 (6 + 7 + 8 = 21 is OK)
