Edit: I don't know why my posting got doubled, but somehow it did. This is what I've changed to second one to.

I just found out that I don't actually need all 3 to be relatively prime, but I need 3 numbers which can't ALL be divided by the same number evenly.

I don't think that may be clear enough, so an example:

a, b and c are integers, a < b < c
a/x, b/x, c/x don't all produce integer results

a=8, b= 16, c=25 is okay
a=8, b=16, c=24 is not because all are divisible by 2

A lot of your posts get doubled... I don't know why... Anyways, leave them doubled and someone will delete the second one eventually... :)
