Answer:
179, 180, 181
Step-by-step explanation:
a +a +1 +a +2 =540
3a +3 =540
3a =540 - 3
3a=537
a=537 :3
a=179 (the first number
b=179 +1 =180 (the second number
c=179 +2 =181 (the third number
Write a number as prime factors means to write the number as a product of numbers, all of which are prime. We start by checking whether the number is divisible by prime numbers, starting from the smallest prime number,2.
let's divide 24 into its factors.
first, it's even, so it must divide by 2
24=2*12
12 is also even, so it must divide by 2:
24=2*12=2*2*6
6 is also even, so it must divide by 2:
24=2*12=2*2*6=2*2*2*3
3 is not even, but it's a prime number.
so the solution is
2*2*2*3
The square root of 18 is 4.24
