1. **Problem statement:** Three numbers have a sum of 2400. When the largest number is divided by the smallest, the remainder is 6. When the middle number is divided by the smallest, the remainder is 3. Find each number. 2. **Formula and rules:** Let the three numbers be $x$ (smallest), $y$ (middle), and $z$ (largest). We know: $$x + y + z = 2400$$ From the division remainders: $$z = a x + 6$$ $$y = b x + 3$$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers (quotients). 3. **Substitute into sum:** $$x + (b x + 3) + (a x + 6) = 2400$$ $$x + b x + 3 + a x + 6 = 2400$$ $$(1 + a + b) x + 9 = 2400$$ $$(1 + a + b) x = 2391$$ 4. **Analyze divisibility:** Since $x$, $a$, and $b$ are integers, $x$ divides 2391. Factor 2391: $$2391 = 3 \times 13 \times 61$$ Possible values for $x$ are divisors of 2391: 1, 3, 13, 39, 61, 183, 799, 2391. 5. **Check remainders condition:** The remainder when dividing by $x$ must be less than $x$. Since remainder 6 and 3 appear, $x > 6$. Try $x=13$: $$(1 + a + b) \times 13 = 2391 \Rightarrow 1 + a + b = \frac{2391}{13} = 183.923...$$ not integer. Try $x=39$: $$(1 + a + b) \times 39 = 2391 \Rightarrow 1 + a + b = \frac{2391}{39} = 61.307...$$ not integer. Try $x=61$: $$(1 + a + b) \times 61 = 2391 \Rightarrow 1 + a + b = \frac{2391}{61} = 39.1967...$$ no. Try $x=183$: $$(1 + a + b) \times 183 = 2391 \Rightarrow 1 + a + b = \frac{2391}{183} = 13.07...$$ no. Try $x=799$: $$(1 + a + b) \times 799 = 2391 \Rightarrow 1 + a + b = 3$$ integer! 6. **Find $a$ and $b$:** $$1 + a + b = 3 \Rightarrow a + b = 2$$ 7. **Find $y$ and $z$:** $$y = b x + 3 = b \times 799 + 3$$ $$z = a x + 6 = a \times 799 + 6$$ Since $a + b = 2$, possible pairs: $(a,b) = (0,2), (1,1), (2,0)$. Check each for ordering $x < y < z$: - For $(a,b) = (0,2)$: $$y = 2 \times 799 + 3 = 1601$$ $$z = 0 \times 799 + 6 = 6$$ Order: $x=799$, $y=1601$, $z=6$ (not increasing) - For $(a,b) = (1,1)$: $$y = 1 \times 799 + 3 = 802$$ $$z = 1 \times 799 + 6 = 805$$ Order: $799 < 802 < 805$ correct. - For $(a,b) = (2,0)$: $$y = 0 \times 799 + 3 = 3$$ $$z = 2 \times 799 + 6 = 1604$$ Order: $799 < 3 < 1604$ no. 8. **Final answer:** $$x = 799, y = 802, z = 805$$ **Verification:** Sum: $799 + 802 + 805 = 2406$ (not 2400) so re-check step 3. Re-examining step 3: Sum equation was: $$x + y + z = 2400$$ Substituting $y = b x + 3$, $z = a x + 6$: $$x + b x + 3 + a x + 6 = 2400$$ $$(1 + a + b) x + 9 = 2400$$ $$(1 + a + b) x = 2391$$ Using $x=799$, $1 + a + b = 3$: $$3 \times 799 = 2397 \neq 2391$$ Mistake found: $3 \times 799 = 2397$, not 2391. Try $x=61$ again: $$2391 / 61 = 39.1967$$ no. Try $x=13$: $$2391 / 13 = 183.923$$ no. Try $x=3$: $$2391 / 3 = 797$$ integer. Try $x=3$: Remainders 6 and 3 must be less than $x=3$, but 6 > 3, so no. Try $x=39$: $$2391 / 39 = 61.307$$ no. Try $x=1$: Remainders 6 and 3 must be less than 1, no. Try $x=7$ (not divisor but check): No. Try $x=9$: No. Try $x=11$: No. Try $x=21$: No. Try $x=17$: No. Try $x=23$: No. Try $x=33$: No. Try $x=39$: No. Try $x=61$: No. Try $x=183$: No. Try $x=799$: No. Try $x=13$: No. Try $x=1$: No. Try $x=3$: No. Try $x=7$: No. Try $x=6$: Remainder 6 must be less than $x$, so no.

Since $a$ and $b$ are integers and $a + b = 0$, possible pairs: $(0,0)$. Then: $$y = b x + 3 = 0 \times 2391 + 3 = 3$$ $$z = a x + 6 = 0 \times 2391 + 6 = 6$$ Order: $x=2391$, $y=3$, $z=6$ no. Since $x$ is smallest, this is invalid. **Conclusion:** The problem as stated has no integer solution satisfying all conditions. --- **Final note:** The problem likely requires more information or correction. --- **Answer:** No integer solution satisfies all given conditions.
