L.C.M. of 5,6,7,8 = 840. Required number is of the form 840k + 3 Least value of k for which (840k + 3) is divisible by 9 is k = 2. Required number = (840 X 2 + 3)=1683
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 = 551/29 = 19; Third number = 1073/29 = 37.Required sum = (19 + 29 + 37) = 85.
