Consecutive numbers are those which lie as closely as possible to each other on the number line.
Odd numbers are those numbers which cannot be evenly divided by 2.
Examples of consecutive odd numbers:
1, 3
5, 7, 9
225, 227
Another methodAn odd number, N, can be produced by plugging any non-negative integer into the following equation (in place of x):
N = 2x+1
Giving consecutive values for x will also produce consecutive odd numbers:
x = 1 -> N = 3
x = 2 -> N = 5
x = 3 -> N = 7
etc.
Impossible.
The two numbers can be thought of as: Smaller Odd Number = x + 1 (Add one to ensure it is an odd number) Larger Consecutive Odd Number = Smaller Number + 2 = x + 1 + 2 = x + 3 We know that Smaller Odd Number + Larger Consecutive Odd Number = 100 (X + 1) + (x + 3) = 100 2x + 4 = 100 2x = 96 x = 48 Smaller Odd Number = 48 + 1 = 49 The smaller odd number is 49. The next consecutive odd number of course is 51.
The sum of any three consecutive odd integers is going to give an odd result. It is impossible for the sum of an odd number of odd integers to equal an even number.
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.
is an even number
Impossible.
Any odd number of consecutive numbers in which the center number is 100 will have this property. The simplest example is 99, 100, 101.
Two odd numbers are said to be consecutive if there are no other odd numbers in between. This happens when the first number is odd, and the second number is two more than the first number.
No two consecutive numbers have a product that is an even number. Any two consecutive numbers include one odd number and one even number. The product of one odd number and one even number is always an odd number.
The consecutive odd number with a product of 12099 are 109 and 111.
The two numbers can be thought of as: Smaller Odd Number = x + 1 (Add one to ensure it is an odd number) Larger Consecutive Odd Number = Smaller Number + 2 = x + 1 + 2 = x + 3 We know that Smaller Odd Number + Larger Consecutive Odd Number = 100 (X + 1) + (x + 3) = 100 2x + 4 = 100 2x = 96 x = 48 Smaller Odd Number = 48 + 1 = 49 The smaller odd number is 49. The next consecutive odd number of course is 51.
This answer cannot be answered because two consecutive numbers consist of one odd number and one even number, and the sum of an odd number plus an even number is always an odd number.
The sum of any three consecutive odd integers is going to give an odd result. It is impossible for the sum of an odd number of odd integers to equal an even number.
No, because every other number in the number line is odd so therefore if you have any number of consecutive numbers you will have at least one odd number (if you're talking about consecutive numbers on a number line).
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.
is an even number
There are no two consecutive integers that sum to 58. With two consecutive integers, one is even, the other is odd. The sum of an even number and an odd number is odd. 58 is even so cannot be the sum of two consecutive integers.
