Let I, M, and O be distinct positive integers such that the product I x M x O = 2001. What is the largest possible value of the sum I + M + O?
Help please.

Prime Factorisation
Use prime factors - this is usually a good starting point for any question about factors because the prime factorisation can be used to help find all the factors.
Presumably IMO = International Mathematical Olympiad ;-)
As a starting point for the
As a starting point for the factorisation, you know that 3 must be a factor as the digit sum is 3, There are two more prime factors.
