a+b+c+d+e=246, a/2=b/3=c/4, 2c=3d=4e
a/2=c/4, 2c=4a, a=2c/4=c/2, b/3=c/4, 4b=3c, b=3c/4, 2c=3d, d=2c/3, 2c=4e, e=2c/4, inlocuim a,b, d si e in prima suma si obtinem
2c/4+3c/4+c+2c/3+2c/4=246, numitor comun 12
6c+9c+12c+8c+6c=2952, 41c=2952, c=2952/41=72
a=2*72/4=144/4=36, b=3*72/4=54, d=2*72/3=48, e=72*2/4=36
36+54+72+48+36=246
