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.
There is no set of three consecutive whole numbers that add up to 154.
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.
Yes but the on prime numbers are 2,3
The numbers are 30, 31 and 32.
Yes, if the first number is odd.

No.
Well, isn't that a happy little math problem? Let's see, if we take 22, 23, and 24, and add them together, we get 69, just one more than 68. So, let's adjust slightly and take 21, 22, and 23 instead. When we add those up, we get a perfect total of 66. Just a couple numbers off from 68, but that's the joy of math - we can always make small adjustments to find the right answer.
-3, -2 and -1.

The sum of 3 consecutive whole numbers is always equal to 3 times the middle number in that sequence.
Yes but the on prime numbers are 2,3
The numbers are 30, 31 and 32.
The three consecutive whole numbers you are looking for are 1, 2, and 3. The sum of the first two numbers, 1 + 2 = 3.
The numbers are 9, 11 and 13.
