because...
odd+odd=even
even+odd=odd
e.g
1+1+1=3
odd+odd+odd=odd
even
It will always give an even number, as adding any amount of even numbers always results in an even number.
The numbers would be 8 + 10 + 12.
The sum of three odd numbers will be odd, whether they are prime or not. The sum of three prime numbers can be even as long as one of them is 2.
As the number 1 is considered a special case and not a prime, there cannot be three consecutive numbers that are prime. Any three consecutive numbers must include at least one even number. With the exception of the number 2, no even numbers are prime.
An even number.
even
Whole numbers ending in 8 are even numbers. All even numbers except for 2 are composite numbers.
A prime number is any number that only has one and itself as factors. By definition even numbers have a factor of two. Therefore even numbers cannot be prime with the exception of the number 2.
It will always give an even number, as adding any amount of even numbers always results in an even number.
The numbers would be 8 + 10 + 12.
because in a mean for 7 with three numbers the total of the 3 numbers must be 21 and (even number) + (even number) = (even number) 21 is odd Q.E.D
Every even number is evenly divisible by 2.
50% or one in two because there are three odd numbers and three even numbers, so the chances of rolling an odd or even number are the same
The sum of three odd numbers will be odd, whether they are prime or not. The sum of three prime numbers can be even as long as one of them is 2.
50 is an even number. To get even number by adding odd number of numerical values, ie three numbers that too all of them odd seems not at all possible.
The sum of two odd numbers is even and the sum of an even number and an odd number is odd.So the sum of three consecutive odd numbers is odd but 270 is even.Ergo there are no three consecutive odd numbers that sum to 270.Three consecutive numbers that sum to 270 are 89, 90, 91.Three consecutive even numbers that sum to 270 are 88, 90, 92.
