Two consecutive numbers with a sum of 103?

Answer 1

Two consecutive numbers with the sum of 103 are 51 and 52.Here's a fun way to figure it out using c++ (can me modified to find any two consecutive numbers adding up to the variable target):

#include

using namespace std;

int main()

{

int target = 103;

int num = 0;

int sum;

while (sum != target)

{

num++;

sum = (num + (num+1));

}

cout << num << "\n" << (num+1);

return 0;

} Or, more simply stated: add one to the target (eg., 103+1=104) and then divide by 2 (104/2=52) This will give the second consecutive number. The first is one less, 51.
