Clarify. Subtract four consecutive numbers ... from what?
It appears you mean something like:
22
- 21
- 20
- 19
And the answer is NOT -44.
It is -38 ... negative double of the LOWEST number.
If this is what you mean, then you have discovered another rule of mathematics. It will always work.
1001
- 1000
- 999
- 998
= -1996
Exactly the negative double of 998
