Question

the number 18 can be written as the sum of nine consecutive integers. what is he product of these integers ?

Answer 1

The products of the consecutive integers are 17, 32, 45, 56, 65, 72, 77, 80, 81.

Explanation:

Step 1 ; First we find which continuous integers which sum up to 18. They are;

1 + 17 = 18

2 + 16 = 18

3 + 15 = 18

4 + 14 = 18

5 + 13 = 18

6 + 12 = 18

7 + 11 = 18

8 + 10 = 18

9 + 9 = 18

Step 2; We multiply the integers with each other

1 x 17 = 17

2 x 16 = 32

3 x 15 = 45

4 x 14= 56

5 x 13 = 65

6 x 12 = 72

7 x 11 = 77

8 x 10 = 80

9 x 9 = 81
