He used to lease camels as a methods for shipping in the desert. One day, he passed away. He had left a will, leaving his property for his three children.

After the funeral and other religious obligations were finished, the three sons read the will. Their dad had divided all the property he had into three equal parts. According to the will, the father had divided the 17 camels in an unexpected way. They were not shared similarly among the three as '17' is an odd number and a prime number, which can't be partitioned.
The old man had expressed that the oldest child will claim half of the 17 camels, the center one will get 33% of the 17 camels, and the most youthful one will get his offer of camels as one ninth!
Every one of them were surprised to peruse the will and questioned each other how to partition the 17 camels as specified in the will. It isn't conceivable to separate 17 camels and give half of the 17 camels to the oldest one. It isn't conceivable likewise to partition the camels for the other two children. They spent a few days considering ways to divide the camels as specified in the will, yet none could discover the appropriate response.
They finally took the issue to a wise man in their town. The wise man heard the issue and in a flash found an answer. He instructed the sons to bring all the 17 camels to him.
When the sons brought the camels, wise man added a camel possessed by him and made the aggregate number of camels 18. He asked the oldest son to read the will. According to the will, the oldest son got a large portion of the camels, which presently tallied to 18/2 = 9 camels! The oldest one got 9 camels as his share. The rest of the camels were 9.
The wise man asked the second child to read the will. He was doled out 1/3 of the aggregate camels.
It came to 18/3 = 6 camels. The second child got 6 camels as his share. Total number of camels shared by the elder sons 9 + 6 = 15 camels.
The third child read out his share of camels: 1/ninth of the total number of camels 18/9 = 2 camels. The youngest son got 2 camels as his share.
Totally 17 (9 + 6 + 2) camels were distributed between the sons. There remained one camel which was owned by the wise man, which was taken by the wise man. Thus the wise man tackled this astutely with his knowledge and intelligence.
