If x,y,z are positive integers,and x!+x/z=y,then what is the value of z?
1. x is a factor of y
2. z<x

Guys,plugging in got me no where..Ijust went blindly plugging in random nos,didnt succeed and ended up getting the answer wrong.any ideas?

I will go with A

simplifying x!+x/z=y---1

z = (x/(y-x!))---2

1) as per 2 above the if x is factor of y then

z = (x/(ax-x!)) which means z = 1 since all are integers

2) is not sufficient (4,26,2),(4,28,1)

good Q, what is the source?

Here is my reasoning.

x!+x/z=y

x/z = y-x!

x = z(y-x!)
z = x/(y-x!)

since x is a factor of y we can write y = a*x
so
z = x/(ax-x(x-1)!) = 1/(a-(x-1)!)
and since z is supposed to be an integer so are 'a' and 'x'
z will be '1'. Let me know if i am missing something.

uptowngirl92 can you please post OA?

Answer should be A.

Z has a value of 1 for x to be a factor of y
