Best Answer

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 method

An 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.

The sum of two consecutive odd numbers is 100 What is the smaller number?

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.
