If the side length of a a is 857 857 , and b b and c c are positive integers, find the value of ( b + c ) + ( c b ) + ( b × c ) (b+c)+(c-b)+(b\times c) .


The answer is 134854567850.

See that a 2 = c 2 b 2 a^2 = c^2-b^2 .

85 7 2 = ( c + b ) ( c b ) \therefore 857^2 = (c+b)(c-b)

But as b , c b,c are positive integers, none of them is zero, and 857 857 is a prime number.


Hence the only way in which we can factorize the number 85 7 2 857^2 into two different integer factors, is 85 7 2 × 1 857^2 \times 1

\therefore c + b = 85 7 2 = 734449 , c b = 1 c+b= 857^2=734449 ,\\ c-b =1

b = 367224 , c = 367225 \therefore b=367224 , c=367225

Required answer is 2 c + b c = c ( 2 + b ) = 367225 × 367226 = 134854567850 2c+bc = c(2+b) = 367225\times 367226 = \boxed{134854567850}

Of course!
