β 14y ago3 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.
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.
2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers; therefore, such a concept does exist, but those are the only two consecutive primes. The reason there are not any others: natural numbers alternate between odd and even numbers. When the number is even, then 2 is a factor. The number 2 is the only even prime number (it's only factors are 2 and 1). All other even numbers have factors, in addition to 2 & 1. So if a number is prime, and the number is not 2, then it is an odd number. The two numbers on either side of an odd number are even. So if the prime number is greater than 3, then the two numbers on either side of it will be even numbers, which are not primes.
Consecutive prime numbers are two prime numbers that are next to each other, with no other prime numbers in between. For example, 3 and 5 are consecutive prime numbers.

Any three-digit multiple of 60, from 120 to 960, has the first five counting numbers as factors.

If one of the numbers is a multiple of the other, the smaller number is the GCF. If the two numbers are prime numbers, the GCF is 1. If the numbers are consecutive, the GCF is 1. If the numbers are consecutive even numbers, the GCF is 2.

No, because every other number in the number line is odd so therefore if you have any number of consecutive numbers you will have at least one odd number (if you're talking about consecutive numbers on a number line).

There are no four consecutive whole numbers that add up to 35. The sum of two consecutive [whole] numbers is an even number plus an odd number which is an odd number. The sum of two consecutive numbers and the two next consecutive numbers is the sum of two odd numbers which is even, but 35 is odd, so no four consecutive whole numbers cannot add up to 35.
