The local corner store got a large batch of candy at the beginning of the month, and ordered (x) more small
packs during the month. Their total cost of the candy
purchased can be represented by (y) in the equation
below. How much did the large batch cost?
y = 34000 + 3.87x

(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

how many players are there?
