No whole 3 consecutive numbers total 46.
There are many pairs of consecutive whole numbers that lie between the square roots of 46, which are approx -6.78 and +6.78. -4 and -3, for example.
Can't be done. The number has to be a multiple of 3.
The numbers are 46, 48 and 50.
EVERY three consecutive numbers add to a multiple of 3: Proof: numbers are n, n + 1 and n + 2. The total is 3n + 3 or 3(n + 1) This means that for any three consecutive numbers, the total is 3 times the middle number.
14 + 15 + 16
Do-it-in-your-head method: The middle number MUST be a third of the total so 138 divided by 3 is 46, making your three numbers 44, 46 and 48. Shazam!

Divide the sum of the three consecutive numbers by 3: 75/3=25. The smallest of these numbers will be one less than 25 and the largest will be one more than 25, so the three consecutive numbers will be 24, 25, and 26.
2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.
1 and 2 When added together 1 + 2 = 3
2 and 3 are consecutive numbers and they are both prime.
The numbers 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers. Are there other pairs of prime numbers which are consecutive numbers?
