To find which numbers add up to 142, we need to consider all possible combinations of numbers that sum to 142. One way to approach this is by using a systematic method such as trial and error or algebraic equations. For example, one possible combination is 70 + 72 = 142. Another combination could be 50 + 92 = 142. It's important to note that there are multiple combinations of numbers that can add up to 142.

In order to get three prime numbers to add up to an even number, one of them will have to be even. The only even prime number is 2.144 - 2 = 142.You need to find 2 prime numbers that can add up to 142. 71 is prime and added to itself will be 142, but that won't give you three different prime numbers.Use a list of prime numbers and subtract each prime that is greater than 71 (fewer than primes less than 71) from 142 to see if the difference is another prime:142 - 73 = 69 (not prime)142 - 79 = 63 (not prime)142 - 83 = 59 (prime)142 - 89 = 53 (prime)142 - 97 = 45 (not prime)142 - 101 = 41 (prime)142 - 103 = 39 (not prime)142 - 107 = 35 (not prime)142 - 109 = 33 (not prime)142 - 113 = 29 (prime)142 - 127 = 15 (not prime)142 - 131 = 11 (prime)142 - 137 = 5 (prime)142 - 139 = 3 (prime)You end up with 7 sets of 3 prime numbers that add up to 144:2, 59, 832, 53, 892, 41, 1012, 29, 1132, 11, 1312, 5, 1372, 3, 139
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.
2 numbers that add up to 8
There are no such numbers.
To find two numbers that multiply to 142, we need to factorize 142 into its prime factors: 2 x 71. Therefore, the two numbers that multiply to 142 are 2 and 71.
