144 / (1 + 4 + 4) = 1*4*4
There is another 3digit number that works similarly: whatzit?

for i in range(1,9):
for j in range(1,9):
for k in range(1,9):
if 100*i + 10*j + k == i*j*k*(i + j + k):
print(i,j,k)

It found 144 and 135. Those are the only ones!Code:[FONT=Courier New] for i in range(1,9): for j in range(1,9): for k in range(1,9): if 100*i + 10*j + k == i*j*k*(i + j + k): print(i,j,k) [/FONT]

I like Serena said:Erm... range(1,9) = (1,...,8) in python.
It's a good thing there are no numbers with a 9 in it!
The equation "144 / (1 + 4 + 4) = 1*4*4" is an example of a fun math puzzle known as "Whatzit? Number Fun." It involves using basic arithmetic operations to find a solution that satisfies the equation.
To solve this equation, you must follow the order of operations (PEMDAS) and evaluate the parentheses first. This means adding 1 + 4 + 4 to get 9. Then, divide 144 by 9 to get 16. Finally, use simple multiplication to show that 1*4*4 also equals 16, making it the solution to the equation.
The purpose of this equation is to challenge individuals to think creatively and use their math skills to find a solution. It can also be used as a fun brain teaser or as a way to introduce basic math concepts to children.
Yes, there are many variations of this puzzle, each with a different solution. Some may involve using different numbers or operations, while others may have a different layout or structure. The possibilities are endless, making it a great activity for individuals of all ages.
While this puzzle may not have a direct connection to scientific research, it can help develop critical thinking skills and problem-solving abilities, which are essential in the field of science. Additionally, it can be used as a fun way to practice math skills, which are often necessary in conducting scientific experiments and analyzing data.
