Question

the product of five consecutive odd integers is 945 what is the greatest possible value of any of these integers

Answer 1

If 945 is the product of 5 CONSECUTIVE ODD numbers, let's find the prime factors of 945:

945 = 5 x 7 x 27 , but we need 5 odd numbers:

945= 5 x 7 x ( 3 x 9 ) we still need one factor. This factor cannot be but 1

945 = 1 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 9 = 945 and the greatest value of these integers is 9
