If $a,\,b$ and $c$ are positive integers such that $16a b c+4a b+4a c+4b c+ a+b+c =4561$, find the sum of $a+b+c$.

The sum of a, b and c is the total of all three numbers added together. It is calculated by adding a to b, and then adding the result to c.
Finding the sum of a, b and c is important because it helps us determine the total quantity or value of multiple numbers. This can be useful in various fields such as mathematics, physics, and economics.
To find the sum of a, b and c, simply add all three numbers together. You can use a calculator or manually add the numbers. The order in which you add the numbers does not matter, as the sum will be the same.
The sum of a, b and c will still be calculated in the same way, regardless of whether one or more numbers is negative. However, the result may also be negative, depending on the numbers and their values. For example, -2 + 5 + 3 would result in a sum of 6.
Yes, the sum of a, b and c can be a decimal or fraction if one or more of the numbers is a decimal or fraction. When adding decimals or fractions, it is important to follow the appropriate rules for adding them, such as finding a common denominator. The result may also need to be rounded to a certain number of decimal places or simplified as a fraction.
