The sum of the first six positive numbers (1 to 6) is 21.
Oh, dude, the greatest whole number that MUST be a factor of the sum of any six consecutive positive odd numbers is 3. Why? Because any set of consecutive odd numbers will include multiples of 3, ensuring that the sum will be divisible by 3. So, like, 3 is the magic number here.
There are 5760 such numbers.
There have to be an even number of odd numbers in each group, and each group must have more than two odd numbers (since 19 + 17 is only 36); thus there must be four in one group and six in the other. There are many ways to get four odd numbers to add up to to 50; for example, you could take 1, 13, 17 and 19. The remaining six odd numbers will then also add up to 50.
Fifty-four divided by six is equal to positive nine because fifty-four and six are both positive numbers.
