The product of 3 integers is -24 2019-11-06
From Rick:
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.

Primes and square roots 2001-06-14
From Paul:
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?
