Question

explain the problem

Answer 1

the product of three integers is -3 what are all the possible factors

Let the three integers be x, y, z.

Then xyz = -3

Since x, y, z are integers, then only one of x, y or z can be 3, or -3. The other two integers nust be either 1 or -1.

The possibilities then are,

3 * 1 * -1 = -3

3 * -1 * 1 = -3

-3 * 1 * 1 = -3
