As a product of its prime factors: 2*2*3*17 = 204 or as 22*3*17 = 204
Let the first even number be x. Then the second even number would be x + 2, and the third even number would be x + 4. The sum of these numbers is x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 3x + 6. We set this equal to 204 and solve for x: 3x + 6 = 204 --> 3x = 198 --> x = 66. Therefore, the three consecutive even numbers are 66, 68, and 70.
204 is composite. Being an even number means it is divisible by 2, and therefore not a prime.
How about: 199+5 = 204
LCM of 102 and 68 is 204. Write the numbers in prime factorisation in power form; for the LCM multiply together the highest power of each prime across the numbers: 102 = 2 x 3 x 17 68 = 22 x 17 LCM = 22 x 3 x 17 = 204
