It is the names of the battleships ("T3OUs") manufactured by big ship "Sleeping service" in Iain M. Banks' Science Fiction novel "Excession"
It means: 100+10+5+3 = 118
118 107 + 115 + 132 = 354 three numbers so divide by 3 354 / 3 = 118
35 is composite. 35 = 5 * 736 is composite. 36 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 = 22 * 32
Factor each number to see if they have common factors:21 = 3*736 = 3 *12The LCD is, 36*7 or 21*12, 252.
3-118 = -115

The numbers are 28, 29, 30 and 31.Working X + (X+1) + (X+2) + (X+3) = 118 4X + 6 = 118 4X = 112 X = 112/ 4 X = 28 Therfore the consecutive numbers are 28, 29, 30 and 31. Check yourself.
All numbers have factors. Some numbers have some of the same factors as other numbers. These are known as common factors because they are factors that the numbers have in common. 3 is a factor of 12. 3 is a factor of 15. 3 is a common factor of 12 and 15.

354 is a composite number because it has factors other than 1 and itself. It is not a prime number.The 8 factors of 354 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 59, 118, 177, and 354.The factor pairs of 354 are 1 x 354, 2 x 177, 3 x 118, and 6 x 59.The proper factors of 354 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 59, 118, and 177 or,if the definition you are using excludes 1, they are 2, 3, 6, 59, 118, and 177.The prime factors of 354 are 2, 3, and 59.The 3 distinct prime factors (listing each prime factor only once) of 354 are 2, 3, and 59.The prime factorization of 354 is 2 x 3 x 59.NOTE: There cannot be common factors, a greatest common factor, or a least common multiple because "common" refers to factors or multiples that two or more numbers have in common.

All numbers have divisors. Some numbers have some of the same divisors as other numbers. These are called common divisors. 3 is a divisor of 9. 3 is a divisor of 12. 3 is a common divisor of 9 and 12.
