Consecutive means following one another. E and F are consecutive, as are Tuesday and Wednesday and 100 and 101. The number 15 is NOT between any consecutive whole numbers. However, it is between the whole numbers 14 and 16 --- which of course are not consecutive.
3 can't lie between consecutive whole numbers. It lies between 2 and 4, which are consecutive even numbers.
43 isn't between consecutive whole numbers. If that's 4/3, it's between 1 and 2.
