1+2+3=6. 1x2x3=6. Are there any other sets of numbers that do this?

Do other sets of numbers add up to the same number as they multiply to?

Consider a triangle where no angles are 90 degrees if u add the tangent of all those angles it will equal to the product of the tangent of all those angels. tanA x tanB x tanC = tanA + tanB +tanC If we use a random triangle that fits this rule, for example, a triangle with the angels of 70, 30, and 80 degrees, tan70 x tan30 x tan80 = tan70 x tan30 x tan80. This will work with any triangle that does not have a 90-degree angle.

True, but I don't think that's what the student was asking. The question was, would the product of all those numbers be the same as their sum.
 
1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14 = 28
 
BUT
 
1 x 2 x 4 x 7 x 14 = 784
