Three consecutive whole numbers can be written as x, x + 1 and x + 2. Added together, their sum can be written as 3x + 3. Not only is that sum divisible by three, but by doing so [3(x + 1)] you can see that the sum is also equal to three times the second number.

Consecutive numbers will always total an odd number. Consecutive odd numbers or consecutive primes would be 5 and 7.
Yes because at least one of the consecutive numbers will be even, and if you times anything by an even number, the answer will always be even
Yes.
If you mean six consecutive INTEGERS, then the answer is Yes.
The difference of two consecutive odd numbers is always two. Whether it is before 235 or after is irrelevant.
No, the sum of two consecutive numbers is always an odd number, and is not divisible by two.

In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.In fact, they can. 2 and 3 are consecutive prime numbers.For larger numbers, one of two consecutive numbers will always be even, and therefore, not a prime.
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.
Because any consecutive pair of numbers would involve an even number which will always be divisible by 2. As 2 is the only even prime number, 2 and 3 are necessarily the only sequential prime numbers.
Consecutive numbers will always total an odd number. Consecutive odd numbers or consecutive primes would be 5 and 7.
yes always this is true' example 1,2,3 sum is 6 and is divisible by 3
The sum of 3 consecutive whole numbers is always equal to 3 times the middle number in that sequence.
If there are an odd # of consecutive numbers, they will. If there are an even # of numbers, the mean will be halfway between the two medians.
The sum of consecutive integers will always be odd. Consecutive odd numbers will be even. 299 + 301 = 600
Yes because at least one of the consecutive numbers will be even, and if you times anything by an even number, the answer will always be even
NO. Odd numbers are not always divisible by 5. Examples: 3 , 7, 9, 11, 13, 17, ... are odd numbers and they are not divisible by 5.
