Solution

As, it is given that, the numbers are prime.

therefore, they will contain the common factor only 1.

Also, it is given that,

two products have the middle number in common.

⇒M
iddle No. = H.C.F. of 551 & 1073 = 29

⇒Middle No. = 29

Now, first no. = 551/29=19

and

third no. = 1073/29 = 37

Thus, the three prime nos. are 19,29 and 37.
