25 let's call three prime numbers "cool" if their product is five times greater than their sum. how many "cool" triples are there? also for bonus: david did not notice the multiplication sign between two three-digit numbers and wrote one six-digit number, which is equal to seven times their product. find these numbers.

1) Let us assume required prime numbers are a, b and c.

Product of a, b and c= abc.

Sum of a, b and c = a+b+c.

"Their product is five times greater than their sum."

Therefore,

abc = 5(a+b+c)  equation (1)

Now, let us take first prime numbers 2 and second 5.

Plugging a=2 and b=5.

2×5×c = 5(2+5+c).

10c = 5(7+c)

10c = 35 +5c.

Subtracting 5c from both sides, we get

10c-5c = 35 +5c-5c.

5c = 35.

Dividing both sides by 5, we get

c=7.

Therefore, first "cool" triple is 2,5,7.

Let us check by taking a=2 and b=7.

Plugging a=2 and b=7 in equation (1), we get

2×7×c = 9(2+7+c).

c=9. But it's not a prime number.

Let us take a=2 and b=11, we get

2×11×c = 11(2+11+c).

c=13   (A prime)

If we take a=2 and b=17, we get

2×17×c = 17(2+17+c).

c=19   (A prime).

On the same way, if we continue the process, we can get many "cool" triples.

2) We can get that number hit and trial method.

It is said that "two three-digit numbers and wrote one six-digit number, which is equal to seven times their product".

Let us check number 143.

If we write 143 two times without any sign in between , we get 143143 ( a six digit number).

But if we multiply 143 × 143 , we get 20449.

7 times of 20449 equals 143143.

Therefore, the required three digit number is 143.

The answer is B.

You can't multiply, divide, or subtract because it says find the sum.
