William and his three friends had lunch at a restaurant. They split the bill equally. The total bill was $34. They left a 15% tip. How much would each person pay

(n^3 - n)

= n(n-1)(n+1)

since it is divisible by 3 and 2 ,because it is a multiple 3 consecutive number

if, n-1 is odd then n+1 is also odd, then it is a multiple of 9

but if, n-1 is even then n+1 is also even, then it is a multiple of 4

so, largest multiple = max(9*2, 4*3) = max(18, 12) = 18

they can both be solutions depends on the equation
