Three numbers which are co-prime to each other are such that the product of the first two is 551 and that of the last two is 1073. The sum of the three numbers is:

Question

Accepted Answer

Since the numbers are co-prime, they contain only 1 as the common factor.

Also, the given two products have the middle number in common.

So, middle number = H.C.F. of 551 and 1073 = 29;

First number =	❨	551	❩	= 19; Third number =	❨	1073	❩	= 37.
		29				29

∴ Required sum = (19 + 29 + 37) = 85.
