Wendy divided 3/8 of a package of pencils among 3 people including herself. What fraction of the whole package of pencils will each person receive.

Each person will get of the whole package of pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that 3/8 of the package was divided among 3 people we just have to divide 3/8 by 3 in order to find out what fraction of the whole package of pencils each person will receive. And so we get...

    ÷ 3 =

Therefore, each person will get 1/8 of the whole package of pencils.

(n^3 - n)

= n(n-1)(n+1)

since it is divisible by 3 and 2 ,because it is a multiple 3 consecutive number

if, n-1 is odd then n+1 is also odd, then it is a multiple of 9

but if, n-1 is even then n+1 is also even, then it is a multiple of 4

so, largest multiple = max(9*2, 4*3) = max(18, 12) = 18
