What is the greatest whole number that must be a divisor of the product of any three consecutive positive integers?

I think the answer should be 6.

In every three consecutive integers, one of them must be a multiple of three. And there must be at least one multiple of two as well. So 3 x 2 = 6.

 

I hope this helped.

I suppose 6?

 

1 x 2 x 3 = 6

2 x 3 x 4

3 x 4 x 5

4 5 6
