Let the numbers be a - 1, a and a+1. Adding we get 42.
This means a-1+a+a+1 = 42
ie 3a = 42
Therefore, a =42/3 = 14.
Hence the consecutive numbers are 13,14 and 15.
you check yourself by adding these.
There is no such set of numbers.
3, 5 and 7 are consecutive odd prime numbers.
3332, 3333 and 3334 add up to 9999 - there are no three consecutive numbers that add up to 10,000.
That doesn't work. The number has to be divisible by three. Any three consecutive numbers add up to a multiple of three.
The numbers are 36, 37 and 38.
No.
83, 84 and 85 if you add them.
There is no such set of numbers.
3, 5 and 7 are consecutive odd prime numbers.
Do you mean:"What three consecutive numbers add up to 99?" If you do, then the numbers are 32, 33, 34.
3332, 3333 and 3334 add up to 9999 - there are no three consecutive numbers that add up to 10,000.
That doesn't work. The number has to be divisible by three. Any three consecutive numbers add up to a multiple of three.
EVERY three consecutive numbers add to a multiple of 3: Proof: numbers are n, n + 1 and n + 2. The total is 3n + 3 or 3(n + 1) This means that for any three consecutive numbers, the total is 3 times the middle number.
There are no three consecutive numbers that add up to twenty.Proof:5+6+7=186+7+8=217+8+9 = 24
The numbers are -192, -191 and -190.
Such set of numbers cannot exist.
The numbers are -169, -168 and -167.
