The number 1341 can be written as the sum of three consecutive positive integers. What is the largest of these integers?
Let me call the smallest of these integers x, then the next one is x + 1, and the largest one is x + 2. So I have the equation x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 1341. I can simplify this equation by combining like terms: 3x + 3 = 1341. Subtracting 3 from both sides, I get 3x = 1338. Dividing both sides by 3, I get x = 446. This means the largest of the three integers is x + 2, which is 448.
