A grocery store sold 250 pounds of fruit in May. This is 5 times more than it sold in January. How many pounds of fruit did the grocery store sell in January?

50 pounds of fruits sold January

Step-by-step explanation:

5X = 250

divude both sides by 5 to get x

x = 50

(n^3 - n)

= n(n-1)(n+1)

since it is divisible by 3 and 2 ,because it is a multiple 3 consecutive number

if, n-1 is odd then n+1 is also odd, then it is a multiple of 9

but if, n-1 is even then n+1 is also even, then it is a multiple of 4

so, largest multiple = max(9*2, 4*3) = max(18, 12) = 18
