What do mean by "make"? Are you talking about adding them together or multiplying or some other combination of arithmetic operations?BR24 said:What is the highest number you cannot make with the numbers 6, 9, or 20. Integers obviously. if you don't understand what i am asking, for example, you can't make 14, so which is the largest number you can't make since once you get so high you can make every number. Is there a quick or mathematical way to do this besides brute force and guessing?
The highest number that is impossible to make with 6, 9, and 20 is 43.
This is because 43 is the largest number that cannot be made by adding any combination of 6, 9, and 20 together. Any other number can be made by adding different combinations of these numbers.
To determine the highest number impossible to make with 6, 9, and 20, you need to use a mathematical concept called the "Frobenius number." This number is calculated by finding the greatest common divisor of the given numbers and subtracting it from their sum.
No, the highest number impossible to make with 6, 9, and 20 will always be 43. This is because the numbers 6, 9, and 20 are relatively prime, meaning they do not have any common factors other than 1. Therefore, the Frobenius number will always be the same.
Yes, any combination of numbers that are relatively prime can have a highest number that is impossible to make. It will depend on the specific numbers and their greatest common divisor.
