The sum of three consecutive numbers is 27 what is the least number?
Jhiancorpuz
n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 27
3n + 3 = 27
n = 8
Thus, the numbers are 8, 9, and 10, and the least of these is 8.

Can 3 consecutive whole numbers be primes?
No. Any three consecutive numbers will have at least one of them which is divisible by 2, which means it cannot be prime. And since 1 is not considered a prime number, it cannot happen.
Can there be 3 primes that are cosecutive natural numbers?
As the number 1 is considered a special case and not a prime, there cannot be three consecutive numbers that are prime. Any three consecutive numbers must include at least one even number. With the exception of the number 2, no even numbers are prime.
The sum of 3 consecutive numbers is 600 what is the least of these 3 numbers?
The least of the three numbers is 199.
Is it that 3 consecutive whole number can be prime factors Explain?
3 consecutive numbers cannot be prime factors. Any three consecutive numbers would include at least one even number. The only even prime number is 2, and (2,3,4) doesn't qualify.
What are 3 consecutive numbers whose sum is 125?
That doesn't work. The number has to be divisible by three. Any three consecutive numbers add up to a multiple of three.

What is the smallest consecutive number when a total od three consecutive numbers is 168?
The smallest is 55.
Why when every three consecutive number are being multiplied it gives you an answer which is an even number?
Any two consecutive numbers must comprise one odd and one even number, so their product must be even. Any three consecutive numbers must include two consecutive numbers so the result still applies.
Other than two and three can two consecutive whole number be prime numbers explain why or why not?
No. Every other pair has at least one even number between them.
Why 35 and 7 are the only three consecutive odd prime numbers?
If you take three consecutive odd (or three consecutive even) numbers, one of the three will always be a multiple of 3.If you take three consecutive odd (or three consecutive even) numbers, one of the three will always be a multiple of 3.If you take three consecutive odd (or three consecutive even) numbers, one of the three will always be a multiple of 3.If you take three consecutive odd (or three consecutive even) numbers, one of the three will always be a multiple of 3.
How do you find the sum of the three consecutive numbers?
Their sum is three times the middle number.
What is the smallest number of the three consecutive numbers 168?
The smallest is 55.
