ReneWe are told two things about the numbers we're looking for. Let's call them A and B. First we're told that they're consecutive, or:
B = A + 1
We're also told that they have a sum of 535:
B + A = 535
We can then take one of those equations, and substitute it for one of the variables in the other equation. We know that B is equal to A + 1, so we can plug that into the second equation:
(A + 1) + A = 535
2A + 1 = 535
2A = 534
A = 267
Now we can take that value of A, and find B by plugging it back into the first equation:
B = A + 1
B = 267 + 1
B = 268
So the two consecutive numbers that add up to 535 are 267 and 268.

What are the consecutive square numbers that add up to 77?
16,25,36 add to 77. They are the squares of consecutive numbers 4,5,6
What are four consecutive numbers that add up to 35?
There are no four consecutive whole numbers that add up to 35. The sum of two consecutive [whole] numbers is an even number plus an odd number which is an odd number. The sum of two consecutive numbers and the two next consecutive numbers is the sum of two odd numbers which is even, but 35 is odd, so no four consecutive whole numbers cannot add up to 35.
What two consecutive numbers add up to 60?
Consecutive whole numbers will have an odd sum. Consecutive odd numbers, or consecutive prime numbers, will be 29 and 31.
What consecutive numbers add up to 46?
No answer exists. Any 2 consecutive numbers will produce an odd sum.
What are four consecutive numbers that add up to 10?
Four consecutive numbers adding up to ten are: 1+2+3+4
