The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 192. Find the threenumbers and one number which is multiple of 3?
To start with, 192/3 = 64.
To get three consecutive even numbers, we simply add and subject 2 to either side. Essentially, since 64+64+64 = 192, then so does (64-2) + 64 + (64+2).
62 + 64 + 66 =192
66/3=33. So one is a multiple of 3.

BeauLet's call the first even number x. The next two consecutive even numbers would be x + 2 and x + 4. Given that the sum of these three numbers is 192, we can set up the equation x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 192. Solving for x, we find that x = 62. Therefore, the three consecutive even numbers are 62, 64, and 66. To find a number that is a multiple of 3, we can choose any number divisible by 3, such as 69 or 72.

Why can there never be a pair of consecutive prime numbers that are both prime?
If you mean consecutive numbers that are prime? than the answer is 2,3 are consecutive numbers which are prime. except for this pair it is impossible for consecutive numbers to be prime because every second number is multiple of 2
What are 3 consecutive numbers whose sum is 125?
That doesn't work. The number has to be divisible by three. Any three consecutive numbers add up to a multiple of three.
How many consecutive numbers do you need to guarantee that one of the numbers is divisible by 6?
Every sixth number will be a multiple of 6, so you need at least six consecutive numbers to guarantee that one of them will be divisible by 6.
What is the definition of a consecutive prime number?
