There are no two consecutive whole numbers that sum to 142.With two consecutive whole numbers, one is even and the other odd, and their sum will be odd, but 142 is even.Two consecutive even numbers that sum to 142 are 70 and 72.
The sum of 72 and 12 is 84. The product of the two numbers is 864.
The numbers are 71, 72 and 73.
Divide 72 by 3, this equals 24. This is the middle of the three numbers, so the answer is 23, 24 and 25. This works with finding any odd amount of consecutive numbers that sum up to another number.
5 and 7 52+72 = 74
The numbers are 8 and 9.
6 x 8 = 48 10 x 12 = 120 120 - 48 = 72
two consecutive factors of 72 are 8 and 9. 8 and 9 are consecutive and when you multiply it you'll get 72.. 8 x 9 = 72
They are 6, 8, 10 and 12.
8 & 9
There are no two consecutive whole numbers that sum to 142.With two consecutive whole numbers, one is even and the other odd, and their sum will be odd, but 142 is even.Two consecutive even numbers that sum to 142 are 70 and 72.
The three numbers are 8, 9 and 10. 8 x 9 = 72 102 = 100 100 - 72 = 28
Your answer is 8, 9, & 10 8 * 9 = 72 10 * 10 = 100 100 - 72 = 28
-8 -9
let 2 consecutive numbers be x and x+1, so product will be x^2+x = 72 i.e x^2 + x - 72 = 0 finding roots of quadratic equation x= -9 or x = 8 x = 8 satisfies given condition so is the answer.
I hope you meant "product of smaller two"! 5 x 6 = 30, 72 = 49
There are none. However, the two odd numbers are 35 and 37.
