You need at least two numbers to find an LCM. If that's 12 and 11, the LCM of consecutive integers is their product.

The least common factor is: 1(The least common factor of any set of integers is 1.)The least common factor of any set of positive integers is 1.
No. Just like positive integers, negative integers stretch out to infinity. There will never be a least negative integer.
The least common factor of any set of positive integers is 1.
-4, -2, 0, and 2 are the four consecutive even integers. When you add them up they equal -4.
25, 26 and 27.
17 , 19 , 21 and 23 are the odd integers whose sum is 80 and the least integer is 17
You need 5.
The LCM of consecutive integers is their product. Consecutive integers will not both be multiples of seven.

Not all numbers can be expressed as the sum of consecutive integers. Only certain numbers, specifically those that can be represented in the form of ( n(n+1)/2 + k ) for some integers ( n ) and ( k ), can be written as a sum of consecutive integers. Additionally, even numbers can be expressed as a sum of two or more consecutive integers, while odd numbers can be expressed as a sum of at least three consecutive integers. Thus, while many numbers can be represented this way, not all can be.
3 and 5.
There are no three odd consecutive integers because consecutive integers all have 1 between them, meaning at least one of them will be an even integer. ------------------- Let x, x+2, and x+4 be the three consecutive odd integers. We want x+(x+2)+(x+4) to equal 531. x+(x+2)+(x+4) = 531 3x+6=531 3x=531-6=525 x=525/3=175 Therefore, the three consecutive odd integers are 175, 177, and 179. A quick check shows that those three integers add up to 531.
3 odd integers must total an odd number. 3 consecutive odd integers must total a multiple of 3. The lowest number greater than 162 which satisfies these requirements is 165, ie 53 + 55 + 57
