Suppose the number $1155$ is written as the product of three positive integers. what is the smallest possible value of the sum of those three integers?

First off, let us find for the prime factors of this number, 1155. The prime factors are:

3 * 5 * 7 * 11 = 1155

3, 5, 7, 11

Since there are 4 prime factors, we multiply the two smallest prime factors to make this into three, so multiply 3 and 5, so:

15, 7, 11

Now the smallest possible sum is:

15 + 7 + 11 = 33

33

898.1666667
