Since the numbers are co-prime, they contain only 1 as the common factor.
Also, the given two products have the middle number in common.
So, middle number = H.C.F. of 551 and 1073 = 29;
First number = \(\left(\frac{551}{29}\right) = 19\)
Third number = \(\left(\frac{1073}{29}\right) = 37.\)
Therefoer Required sum = (19 + 29 + 37) = 85.
