The product of 3 integers is -24 2019-11-06
Rick pose la question :
This is a question on my sons pre-ap practice quiz. I think that there is information missing (?)

The product of 3 integers is -24
The sum of 3 integers is -12
What are the 3 integers ?

This is exactly how it was written on his quiz paper. I have wasted to much time on the internet, trying to find a formula(s) to help him.
Please help me.

The LCM of 6,15 and x is 90 2011-10-30
Richie pose la question :
Hi there,
There are 2 parts to the question.
#1. Factorise 90. This is easy, 90=2x3x3x5

#2
LCM of 6,15 and x is 90. What are possible values of x if x is odd?

From #1, since 90=6x15, how can this be used to work out possible values of x?

Thanks in advance, Richie

Some number theoretic speculations 2008-12-04
Andrew pose la question :
Another way of looking at the 'alternating parity polynomial', again based on Fermat's Little Theorem, is to substitute (a - b) for x in x^(p-1) - 1 as this is always divisible by any prime p. So, if one removes the "- 1", there is always a remainder of (1/p)! (I took up your challenge!)

A question about primes and polynomials 2008-11-16
Andrew pose la question :
Is it possible for (a^2 - a.b + b^2) to be divisible by a prime p where b > a > p and a, b, and p are relatively prime? I let a = n.p + x and b = m.p + y (where both x and y are < p) and after dividing throughout by p one gets to decide whether (x^2 - x.y + y^2) ==0 mod(p) ?! It seems unlikely unless p = (x^2 - x.y + y^2)? (Note:- All letters represent positive integers.)

Is c relatively prime to (n.p)? 2007-03-02
Andrew pose la question :
Please could you help me with a small mathematics problem?! I've put = the problem into three parts but it isn't really three problems; just = one! Given:- {[(n.p)^p] / [c + (n.p)]} =3D "an integer" (where c > = (n.p); c and n are integers, n is even and p is an odd prime number) Can one prove that c cannot be relatively prime to (n.p)? { i.e. c = must have the factor (n.p) ?} If so, is the converse also true? {i.e. If c is relatively prime to = (n.p), then [c + (n.p)] cannot be a factor of (n.p)^p ?} Lastly but similarly, if c is relatively prime to a and c > a > = (n.p) ; (c - a) > (n.p) **; and c is not relatively prime to (n.p) = would it be true that (c - a) cannot be a factor (n.p)^p ?

Primes and square roots 2001-06-14
Paul pose la question :
I have a bit of a math problem. It has to do with determining if a very large number is a prime. One method entails dividing the number by every smaller prime number. If any divide into it, it's not a prime. This would be a big job if the number was something like 400 digits long. Another way I read about was to take the square root of the number and test all the primes less than its square root. The explanation went like this: "When a number is divided by another number that is greater than its square root, the result is a number smaller than the square root. For example, the square root of 36 is 6. Dividing 36 by 2, a smaller number than 6, gives 18, a number that is larger than the square root. To prove that 37 is prime it is only necessary to divide it by primes less than 6, since if it had a prime factor greater than 6, it would have to have one less than 6 as well."

I understand the explanation, up to the last sentence. I fail to see the underlying logic. Why if a prime factor exists below the square does one have to exist above the square too? The number 40 can be divided by the prime 2, a number below its square root, but no other primes can do this above its square root. Have I missed something? What's the logic here?

Five Factors 1998-09-19
Derek Yau pose la question :
To whom it may concern,

I have difficulty in getting the solution to the following question:

Find 5 numbers that have exactly 5 factors.

I got 16, 81 but couldn't find the rest. I believe that in order to have 5 factors, it has to be a square number. Isn't it true? I guess there may be a pattern to this.

Thanks for your help.
