Ex: 15 = 3 x 5, etc. 2.Find an intersection of 3 clues, and see if there is only one common factor. The top cell’s clues are 15, 570, 21 3. 3 is common: Fill it in and cross it off in each of the clues. 4.Fill in any others: 15’s missing factor is 5. 21’s is 7. 5.Repeat steps 2, 3 & 4 for each remaining cell. 15 / \ 3 5 21 / \ 3 7 ? 57 570 / \ 3 190 / \ 2 95 / \ 5 19 Now go ahead and figure out the rest of the puzzle! ~ ~ ~ ~ CLUES ~ ~ ~ ~ Left\: 15= 3 x 5 70= 2 x 5 x 7 165= 3 x 5 x 11 38= 2 x 19 Down: 570= 2 x 3 x 5 x 19 154= 2 x 7 x 11 75= 3 x 5 x 5 /Right: 21= 3 x 7 110= 2 x 5 x 11 50= 2 x 5 x 5 57= 3 x 19    3
