The product of three different whole numbers is 60.What is the largest possible sum of the three numbers?
+9675 1 x 5 x 12 = 60
3 x 4 x 5 = 60
1x 2 x 30 = 60
all we do is to make one number significantly bigger than the other two
first i will consider 1 as the first number
as we have to make the 3 numbers different, we make the second number the smallest possible factor of 60, which is 2
then we divide 60 by 2 and get the 30
The largest possible sum = 1 + 2 + 30 = 33
