Nicely done! What I did was I started grouping together like terms; starting with all the a's:
1 + a + 2b + 3c + 2ab + 3ac + 6bc + 6abc
By rearranging the terms, the expression becomes more easily factored:
2ac + 2ab + a + 6abc + 6bc + 2b + 3c +1
Factor out one 'a' from the first group of paired terms:
a (2b + 6bc + 3c + 1) + (6bc + 2b + 3c + 1)
It then took a few minutes for my eyes to interpret the above simply as:
6bc + 2b + 3c + 1 ( a + 1) ==》 the first sequence of terms factors out!
Breaking down even cleaner for the first sequence, it can factor out further:
3c (2b + 1) + (2b + 1) but do not forget the (a + 1) multiplied with that!
We know a = 999 b = 666 and c = 333; plugging in those numbers is strategic in the next few steps:
Just like before, the (2b + 1) from the previous expression can factor out:
(2b + 1) ( 3c + 1) * (a + 1) ==》 this gives a friendlier layout to work more efficiently with the numbers provided.
Intuitively, starting out with ( a + 1) would be a good place to start, because a = 999: (999 + 1) = 1000! Easy peezy!
(2b + 1) ( 3c + 1) * (1000)
With a little more work with numbers, finding out the next step can be done by understanding that the expression (3c + 1) is relative to (a + 1) in that 3 × 333 = 999: c = 333 but remember to add on the 1 in the expression 3c + 1!
(2b + 1)(3 × 333 + 1) × 1000 ==》 this is what our expression should look like.
Reduce: (2 [ 666 ] + 1)(1000)(1000) ==》 by placing the 666 in for b in the first term.
Basic math gives us the final answer!
2 × 666 = 1332 + 1 = 1333 (1000) (1000) = 1333000000
I made all terms c. 36c^3+33c^2+10c+1. Then solved cubic equation
For anyone wondering how to spot these patterns unfortunately there is no simple answer. Of course you have to practice on a lot of different and increasingly hard problems until the intuition comes more and more easily to you. As a general rule of thumb is useful to rearrange the problem in such a way to exploit symmetries. Good luck to everyone on the journey to mastery.
Did the same, bit didnt know how to solve 3 degree equation
awsum.. gt stuckt in the last step.. goood work dude..
That is exactly how I did
Hi! Could you please explain how 36c^3 + 33c^2 + 10c + 1 = (3c + 1)^2(4c + 1) works?

I have the same question. I noticed in my HP50G that this factorization was possible but it did not know how to get there.
That style rocks!

I don't know what the downvotes are for, probably they are by people who cannot take pictures in their device, but seriously taking a picture of your solution is so much easier than writing the whole solution in LateX. Though this one does not use LateX, it is certainly less work for other problems.
This is a gud way of posting solution
( 1 + a + 2 b + 3 c + 2 a b + 3 a c + 6 b c + 6 a b c ) = 1 + a + 2 b + 2 a b + 3 c + 3 a c + 6 b c + 6 a b c = 1 ( 1 + a ) + 2 b ( 1 + a ) + 3 c ( 1 + a ) + 6 b c ( 1 + a ) = ( 1 + a ) ( 1 + 2 b + 3 c + 6 b c ) = ( 1 + a ) ( 1 ( 1 + 2 b ) + 3 c ( 1 + 2 b ) ) = ( 1 + a ) ( 1 + 3 c ) ( 1 + 2 b ) = 1 0 0 0 × 1 0 0 0 × 1 3 3 3 = 1 3 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 + a +2b + 3c + 2ab + 3ac + 6bc + 6abc
Factor 2b (1 + a) + 3c (1 + a) + (6bc + 1) (1 + a)
(1 + a) (2b + 3c + 6bc + 1)
(1 + a) [2b (3c + 1) + (3c + 1)]
(1 + a) (2b +1) (3c +1)
Then substitute the value of a, b, and c
(1 + 999) [2 (666) +1] [3(333) + 1] = 1 333 000 000
a = 3c, b = 2c
(1 + a) + (2b + 2ab) + (3c + 3ac) + (6bc + 6abc) =
(a + 1)(1 + 2b + 3c + 6bc) =
(a + 1)(1 +4c + 3c + 12c^2) = (a + 1)(1 +7c + 12c^2) = (a + 1)(1 + 3c)(1 + 4c) =
(a + 1) (a + 1)(1333) = (1000) (1000)(1333) = 1333000000
1 + a + 2 b + 3 c + 2 a b + 3 a c + 6 b c + 6 a b c
( 1 + a ) + 2 b ( 1 + a ) + 3 c ( 1 + a ) + 6 b c ( 1 + a )
( 1 + a ) ( 1 + 2 b + 3 c + 6 b c )
U s i n g , a = 3 c , b = 2 c , c = 3 3 3
( 1 + a ) ( 1 + 2 b + a + 2 a b )
( 1 + a ) ( 1 + a ) ( 1 + 2 b )
( 1 + a ) ( 1 + a ) ( 1 + a + c ) = 1 0 0 0 ∗ 1 0 0 0 ∗ 1 3 3 3 = 1 3 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0
a = 3 c, b = 2 c
By substitution,
1 + 3c + 2 * 2c + 3c + 2 * 3c * 2c + 3 * 3c * c + 6 * 2c * c + 6 * 3c * 2c * c
which brings us to
1 + 3c + 4c + 3c + 12c * c + 9c * c + 12c * c + 36c * c * c
and then down to
1 + 10c + 33c * c + 36c * c * c
which I then plugged into a calculator. Not as glorious as factoring, but it got the answer fast enough.
1+a +2b+2ab+3c+3ac+6bc +6abc (1+a)+2b(1+a)+3c(1+a) +6bc(1+a) a=3c and b=2c (1+a)+4c(1+a)+3c(1+a)+12c^2(1+a) (1+a) (12c^2+4c+3c+1) 1000(4c(3c+1)+1(3c+1) ) =1000( (4c+1) (3c+1) ) 1000(1333) (1000) =1333000000
1 + a + 2 b + 3 c + 2 a b + 3 a c + 6 b c + 6 a b c
Rearrange as follows:
= 1 + a + 2 b + 2 a b + 3 c + 3 a b + 6 b c + 6 a b c
Take common factors among the terms:
= ( 1 + a ) + 2 b ( 1 + a ) + 3 c ( 1 + a ) + 6 b c ( 1 + a )
Factorise:
= ( 1 + a ) ( 1 + 2 b + 3 c + 6 b c )
= ( 1 + a ) [ 1 ( 1 + 2 b ) + 3 c ( 1 + 2 b ) ]
Group all the factors:
= ( 1 + a ) ( 1 + 2 b ) ( 1 + 3 c )
Substitute values:
= ( 1 + 9 9 9 ) ( 1 + 2 ⋅ 6 6 6 ) ( 1 + 3 ⋅ 3 3 3 )
Simplify:
= ( 1 0 0 0 ) ( 1 + 1 3 3 2 ) ( 1 + 9 9 9 )
= ( 1 0 0 0 ) ( 1 3 3 3 ) ( 1 0 0 0 )
= 1 3 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0
Excellent! clear description I can follow - except there is a typo in the second line. It should be 3ac, not 3bc.
1+a+2b+3c+2ab+3ac+6bc+6abc =1+a+2b+2ab+3c+3ac+6bc+6abc =(1+a)+2b(1+a)+3c(1+a)+6bc(1+a) =(1+a)(1+2b+3c+6bc) =(1+a){(1+2b)+3c(1+2b)} =(1+a)(1+2b)(1+3c) =(1000)(1333)(1000) =1333000000
(1+a)+2b(1+a)+3c(1+a)+6bc(1+a)
=(1+a)[1+2b+3c+6bc]

=1000[(1+2b)(1+3c)]
=(1000)(1333)(1000)
=1333000000
= 1 + a + 2 b + 3 c + 2 a b + 3 a c + 6 b c + 6 a b c = ( 1 + a ) + 2 b ( 1 + a ) + 3 c ( 1 + a ) + 6 b c ( 1 + a ) = ( 1 + a ) ( 1 + 2 b + 3 c + 6 b c ) = ( 1 + a ) ( ( 1 + 2 b ) + 3 c ( 1 + 2 b ) ) = ( 1 + a ) ( 1 + 2 b ) ( 1 + 3 c ) = ( 1 + 9 9 9 ) ( 1 + 2 ( 6 6 6 ) ) ( 1 + 3 ( 3 3 3 ) ) = ( 1 0 0 0 ) ( 1 3 3 3 ) ( 1 0 0 0 ) = 1 3 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0
We can rearrange the terms in the expression to make it easier to factorise. 1 + a + 2 b + 3 c + 2 a b + 3 a c + 6 b c + 6 a b c = 6 a b c + 2 a b + 3 a c + a + 6 b c + 2 b + 3 c + 1 = 2 a b ( 3 c + 1 ) + a ( 3 c + 1 ) + 2 b ( 3 c + 1 ) + 3 c + 1 = ( 2 a b + a + 2 b + 1 ) ( 3 c + 1 ) = ( a ( 2 b + 1 ) + 2 b + 1 ) ( 3 c + 1 ) = ( a + 1 ) ( 2 b + 1 ) ( 3 c + 1 ) Then, substituting the values a = 9 9 9 , b = 6 6 6 and c = 3 3 3 gives: ( a + 1 ) ( 2 b + 1 ) ( 3 c + 1 ) = ( 9 9 9 + 1 ) ( 2 ( 6 6 6 ) + 1 ) ( 3 ( 3 3 3 ) + 1 ) = ( 1 0 0 0 ) ( 1 3 3 3 ) ( 1 0 0 0 ) = 1 3 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 Thus, the answer is 1333000000 .
1 + a + 2 b + 3 c + 2 a b + 3 a c + 6 b c + 6 a b c
Group all parts that are multiplied by c
1 + a + 2 b + 2 a b + ( 3 c + 3 a c + 6 b c + 6 a b c )
Factor out 3 c
1 + a + 2 b + 2 a b + 3 c ( 1 + a + 2 b + 2 a b )
Now simplify 1 + a + 2 b + 2 a b :
( a + 1 ) ( 2 b + 1 ) + 3 c ( a + 1 ) ( 2 b + 1 )
Factor out ( a + 1 ) ( 2 b + 1 )
( a + 1 ) ( 2 b + 1 ) ( 3 c + 1 )
Now just introduce the values for a, b and c then solve:
( 9 9 9 + 1 ) ( 2 ( 6 6 6 ) + 1 ) ( 3 ( 3 3 3 ) + 1 )
( 1 0 0 0 ) ( 1 3 3 3 ) ( 1 0 0 0 )
1 3 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0
The question is easy, since 1+a+2b+3c+2ab+3ac+6bc+6abc =(a+1)(2b+1)(3c+1) =(999+1)(2 666+1)(3 333+1) =1000x1333x1000 =1333000000
First, group the terms by their coefficients.
( a + 1 ) + ( 2 b + 2 a b ) + ( 3 c + 3 a c ) + ( 6 b c + 6 a b c )
Next, factor a GCD from each set of parentheses.
( a + 1 ) + 2 b ( a + 1 ) + 3 c ( 1 + a ) + 6 b c ( a + 1 )
Since a + 1 is common in each of the terms, we can factor it out, which leaves:
( a + 1 ) ( 1 + 2 b + 3 c + 6 b c )
Looking back at the values for a, b, and c, we can write b as 2 c and a as 3 c .
( 3 c + 1 ) ( 1 + 4 c + 3 c + 1 2 c 2 )
= ( 3 c + 1 ) ( 1 2 c 2 + 7 c + 1 )
= ( 3 c + 1 ) ( 4 c + 1 ) ( 3 c + 1 )
= ( 3 c + 1 ) 2 ( 4 c + 1 )
Finally, we plug in 333 for c, and we get 3 c + 1 = 1 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 and 4 c + 1 = 1 3 3 3 . Multiplying 1,000,000 and 1333 together, we get 1 , 3 3 3 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 .
=(1+a)+2b(1+a)+3c(1+a)+6bc(1+a) =(1+a)(1+2b+3c+6bc) =(1+a){1+2b+3c(1+2b)} =(1+a)(1+2b)(1+3c) =1000(1333)(1000) =1333000000
The answer is 1,333,000,000 - and the funny thing is, somewhere in my calculations I made an error, and I got 1,332,999,000
it easy but due to calculation errors one can get it right for third time.
a=3c and b=2c
then 1+a+2b+3c+2ab+3ac+6bc+6abc will be equal to
1+3c+4c+3c+12c c+9c c+12c c+36c c*c
=1+7c+33c^2+36c^3
=1+7(333)+33(333)(333)+36(333)(333)(333)=1333000000
Its actually not 7c but 10c in the last step I don't know how come u have arrived at thisanswer
1+a+2b+3c+2ab+3ac+6bc+6abc =1+a+2b+2ab+3c+3ac+6bc+6abc =(1+a)+2b(1+a)+3c(1+a)+6bc(1+a) =(1+a)(1+2b+3c+6bc) =(1+a){(1+2b)+3c(1+2b)} =(1+a)(1+2b)(1+3c) =(1000)(1333)(1000) =1333000000
