Question

To find the volume of a rectangular prism you multiply the 3 dimensions, length x width x height. What combination of numbers will give me a volume of 17?

Answer 1

1, 1, 17

Explanation:

17 is a prime number. This means the only factors are 1, and 17. This means that since only 17, and 1 multiply to 17, to get a volume of 17 you can only use 1, and 17 (1, 1, and 17)

Answer 2

1, 1 and 17. Since 17 is a prime number, there isn’t exactly numbers that are multiplied by each other that give 17.
