The sum of 3 consecutive whole numbers is always equal to 3 times the middle number in that sequence.
The sum of all multiples of 3 below 500 is the sum of 3 + 6 + ... + 498 = 41583The sum of all multiples of 5 below 500 is the sum of 5 + 10 + ... + 495 = 24750Depending upon the interpretation of "of 3 and 5", the answer is one of:The sum of all multiples of both 3 and 5 below 500 is the sum of 15 + 30 + ... + 495 = 8415The sum of all multiples of 3 below 500 and all multiples of 5 below 500 is 41583 + 24750 = 66333Since the multiples of both 3 and 5 (that is 15, 30, ...) have been counted twice - once in the multiples of 3 and once in the multiples of 5 - the sum of all multiples of 3 or 5 or both below 500 is 41583 + 24750 - 8415 = 57918I have emphasised the word below with regard to 500 since 500 is a multiple of 5, but 500 is not below (less than) itself, that is the multiples are of the numbers 1, 2, 3, ..., 499. If the question was intended to mean less than or equal to 500, add an extra 500 to the multiples of 5 above, making the sum of the multiples of 5 be 25250 and the final sums (1) 8415, (2) 66833, (3) 58418.
Sorry. No sum of even numbers can be an odd number.
88,89,90 the answer is 88, 89,90.
19, 20, 21
72, 81, 90
The multiples of 243 is 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, and 243.
33, 36, 39, 42
The sum of the first 10 multiples of 3 is 165.
Multiples of 3 include 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 3 and 6 are consecutive. 6 and 9 are consecutive. 9 and 12 are consecutive and so on.
Yes, the sum of any three consecutive counting numbers has a factor of 3.
It need not be. 2 and 3 are consecutive integers and their sum is 5, not 31.
The sum of 3 consecutive whole numbers is always equal to 3 times the middle number in that sequence.
The sum of any three consecutive even numbers must be divisible by 3. 32 is not, so there is no solution.

142*3 = 426
You probably want to know "What are the 3 consecutive whole numbers whose sum is 72 ?" They are 23, 24, and 25.
