- Abstract
We see that if the first then from the first pattern discussed above, the first person person gets 2 apples, it means the other 2 people must could have anything from 1 to 4 apples, so there must be share 5-2=3 apples. Similarly, 18 apples consider 5 apples shared among 3 people, where each for the first person leaves 6=2+4 for the other 2, and there person gets at least 1 apple. For example, if we were sharing 24 apples from lto 2,so there must be two possibilities (1 +2=2+1 between 2 people, and each person must get 1, then since = 3). 1 + 23 = 24, we can reason that a person could have any Returning to the original problem, the most apples a number from 1 to 23, so there must be 23 cases.
