Question

a certain number of cats eats a certain number of mice over a period of several days.each cat eats the same number of mice .which is greater than the number of cats.if there are atleast 3 cats and the total number of mice eaten is 999919,how many cats were there?

Answer 1

999919 = 991 x 1009, so num. of cats = 991 and num. of mice eaten per cat = 1009, where num. of cats < num. of mice eaten per cat.

Answer 2

the question is what has this to do with a 'number of days' ??
if each cat is eating a different number of mice per day and that adds up to 999919, what should be the solution?
