Q:

What number is it???

Accepted Solution

A:
Hello!From the first two clues, we can already cut the possibility down to just a few on what the number is. The digits are consecutive even numbers and add up to 12. To find the digits, divide 12 by 3. This gets you 4.From this, we know that 444 is a possibility based off of solely the second clue. However, when we add the first clue, we see that you can increase one of the digits by 2 and decrease one of the digits by 2 to fit the requirement. This limits the possibilities to 246 and 642.Clue c serves no purpose to us from here, as 246 and 642 both have factors of 2 and 3.Clue d gives us what we need. If it is larger than 200 and smaller than 300, the number must be 246. The third factor: There are many other factors for 246. These include: 1, 6, 41, 246, and so on. However, if you are looking for prime factors, 41 is the factor. I suggest you write this one if it is not specified.Hope this helps!
