The sum of three consecutive odd numbers must be divisible by 3. As 59 is not wholly divisible by 3 the question is invalid. PROOF : Let the numbers be n - 2, n and n + 2. Then the sum is 3n which is divisible by 3. If the question refers to three consecutive numbers then a similar proof shows that the sum of these three numbers is also divisible by 3. Again, the question would be invalid.
yes always this is true' example 1,2,3 sum is 6 and is divisible by 3
The sum of 3 consecutive whole numbers is always equal to 3 times the middle number in that sequence.
Since one of the numbers will be even and the other odd, the sum will always be odd.
Any three consecutive integers are divisible by three because it can be shown that the sum divided by three is the middle number.
