What is the largest integer, n, for which 297/(3n) is an integer?
A. 2.78
B. 3.23
C. 3.67
D. 3.87
E. 4.21
297/3 = 99 ; 99/3 = 33 ; 33/3 = 11. So, n = 3.
Note 297/(33) = 297/27 = 11, whereas 297/(34) = 297/81 = 3.67.

Something just doesn't seem correct regarding this question, an integer is defined as a member of the set of positive whole numbers {1, 2, 3, . . . }, negative whole numbers {-1, -2, -3, . . . }, and zero {0}. The correct answer is stated as "C" 3.67, when plugged into n, it does not produce an integer...Again I am not a superb math whiz and may be missing something. Thanks for making this test, it is really helping my study efforts.
