Let x be the smallest number to be solved:

  • x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 123
  • 3x + 3 = 123
  • 3x = 123 - 3 = 120
  • x = 120 / 3 = 40 is the smallest number
  • and 40 + 41 + 42 = 123

What is sum of three consecutive numbers is 156 what is the smallest of the three numbers?

Let's denote the smallest of the three consecutive numbers as "x". The second number would then be x+1, and the third number would be x+2. Since the sum of the three numbers is 156, we can set up the equation as x + (x+1) + (x+2) = 156. Simplifying the equation, we get 3x + 3 = 156. Solving for x, we find that the smallest number is x = 51.
