Video Summary

Gregory forms two three-digit numbers using the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, each used only once. To maximize their sum, he arranges the digits to create the largest possible hundreds, tens, and units places. Using 5 and 6 for the hundreds digit, 4 and 3 for the tens digit, and 2 and 1 for the units digit, he calculates the sum: 654 + 521 = 1,173. Thus, the greatest possible sum Gregory can achieve is 1,173.
