the product of three consecutive integers is 1716. find that integer in matlab
Here's a solution in Matlab:
main.m
n = nthroot(1716,3); % find the cube root of 1716x = floor(n); % round down to the nearest integerwhile x*(x+1)*(x+2) ~= 1716% check if x, x+1, x+2 is equal to 1716 x = x + 1; % increment x if the product is not equal to 1716enddisp(x); % display the integer x
