Is the sum of any three consecutive counting numbers always divisible by 3?
Yes. Choose any three consecutive counting numbers. The first number is the second number subtract 1 The third number is the second number add 1 Adding the three numbers together is the same as adding: (the second number subtract one) plus the second number plus (the second number add one). The "subtract one" and "add one" cancel each other out to leave the sum as: the second number plus the second number plus the second number Which is the same as 3 times the second number, ie the sum is a multiple of 3 and so is divisible by 3. For example: 10 + 11 + 12 = (11 - 1) + 11 + (11 + 1) = 11 - 1 + 11 + 11 + 1 = 11 + 11 + 11 + (1 - 1) = 11 + 11 + 11 + 0 = 11 + 11 + 11 = 3 x 11
