What are two consecutive integers whose sum is 126?
There is no solution. Since 126 is even and two consecutive integers have to be one odd and one even number, an odd and an even number cannot summate to an even number.
What are two consecutive even integers whose some is 217?
There are none because two consecutive even integers would add up to an even number and the number given of 217 is an odd number.
How can you find 3 consecutive even numbers?
If you add two to any even number you will get the next consecutive even number. The simplest way would be to start with the number two, so the sequence would be 2,4,6.
Why when every three consecutive number are being multiplied it gives you an answer which is an even number?
Any two consecutive numbers must comprise one odd and one even number, so their product must be even. Any three consecutive numbers must include two consecutive numbers so the result still applies.
What are the two consecutive integers with the sum of one hundred?
None exist. 100 is an even number and two consecutive integers can only add up to an odd number. This is because only 2 evens can add up to an even number and no two even numbers are consecutive. (or two odds, but no two odd numbers are consecutive either)
