Answer 5

\[CAT=(C+A+T)(CAT)\]

Answer 6

is that the original equation?

CAT is a three digit numbers. Sucht that.
CAT (the number itself) = (one's + ten's + hundred's) digit times (product of its one's, ten's and hundred's digit)

Answer 8

Answer 11

CAT could be 000...

Answer 12

you can use trial and error method

144

Answer 16

the first one to get the correct answer will be given medal by the crowd. will everyone agree?

Answer 17

wow this stuff is advanced

Answer 18

ok

Answer 19

there's another one. anybody still has a chance :)

Answer 20

135, but are u sure we cant do it by hand ha ?

Answer 21

it does.
441 isn't equal to 144

Answer 22

its an odd number right?

Answer 23

wait so what does that mean? its 441?

Answer 24

uhmm no,
135 and 144 are the oly solutions

Answer 25

135 and 144 are correct te he thanks to my bro

Answer 26

while the right side is symmetric, left side is not.
for ex :-

\(abc \ne cba\)

Answer 27

wait... oops, my bad

Answer 28

@ganeshie8 yep, i was wrong. sorry for the confusion.

Answer 29

haha its fine :)

guess we can setup few relationships if we're not quitters :-
C | CAT
A | CAT
T | CAT
(C+A+T) | CAT
(C*A*T) | CAT

Answer 30

so till now, we have 000, 135, and 144

Answer 31

those are the oly solutions :
