The three consecutive whole numbers you are looking for are 1, 2, and 3. The sum of the first two numbers, 1 + 2 = 3.
What to whole numbers have a sum of 12 and quotient of 3?
The sum of 3 consecutive whole numbers is always equal to 3 times the middle number in that sequence.
9801 * The sum of the first two odd numbers (1+3) is 4, or 22 * The sum of the first three odd numbers (1+3+5) is 9, or 32 * The sum of the first four odd numbers (1+3+5+7) is 16, or 42 * ...and so on So the sum of the first 99 odd numbers, using the pattern above, would be 992 or 9801.
The term whole number does not have a consistent definition...If in referencing "whole numbers" you are referring to "nonnegative integers" then the first whole numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3.If in referencing "whole numbers" you are referring to "positive integers" then the first whole numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4.If in referencing "whole numbers" you are referring to "all integers" then there are no "first" whole numbers, since they would include (..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...) and extend to infinity in both directions.
You know that sum of the first n whole numbers is n(n+1)/2. ( it is the same as the first n natural numbers since the zero does not add anything) So lets say you want the sum of all the whole numbers between 3 and 10. ( I made it easy to illustrate the idea.) The sum of the whole numbers between 0 and 3 is 3(4)/2=6 The sum of the whole numbers between 0 and 10 is 10(11)/2=55 So the sum of the whole numbers between 3 and 10 is the (sum of the whole number between 0 and 10) -(sum of whole numbers between 0 and 3) which is 55-6=49 So in general, for whole numbers m and n with m
The three consecutive whole numbers you are looking for are 1, 2, and 3. The sum of the first two numbers, 1 + 2 = 3.
What to whole numbers have a sum of 12 and quotient of 3?
the product of 3 whole numbers is 5. Their sum is 7. what are the numbers
There are no such whole numbers. The sum of three consecutive whole numbers must be a multiple of 3; as 68 is not a multiple of 3 (68 = 3 × 22 2/3) it cannot be the sum of three whole numbers.
The sum of 3 consecutive whole numbers is always equal to 3 times the middle number in that sequence.
There are no 3-digit whole numbers whose digits sum to 3. The smallest 3-digit number is 100, and the largest is 999, but in neither case is the sum of the digits equal to 3.
You probably want to know "What are the 3 consecutive whole numbers whose sum is 72 ?" They are 23, 24, and 25.
Not possible in whole numbers
The numbers are 3, 4 and 5.
9 and 3
The numbers are 19, 20 and 21.
