Arithmetic Volume
Problem
A sequence is arithmetic if the numbers increases by a fixed amount. For example, 2, 5, 8, are in an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 3, and if these numbers represented the side lengths of a cuboid, the volume, V = 2
5
8 = 80 units3.
How many cuboids exist for which the volume is less than 100 units3 and the integer side lengths are in an arithmetic sequence?
