12
What to whole numbers have a sum of 12 and quotient of 3?
3 can't lie between consecutive whole numbers. It lies between 2 and 4, which are consecutive even numbers.
The products of whole numbers are always whole numbers, but the quotients -- the answers you get when you divide one number by another -- depend upon the actual numbers and which is the dividend and which is the divisor. For example, 12 divided by 3 is 4, a whole number, but 3 divided by 12 is 1/4 or 0.25, a fraction.
How about 9 and 3 because 9+3 = 12 and 9/3 = 3

What to whole numbers have a sum of 12 and quotient of 3?
No odd whole numbers have 12 as a factor. 1 and 3 are odd numbers that are factors of 12.
1, and only 1. There are no common factors (whole numbers) between those three numbers but one.
To any set that contains it! It belongs to {12}, or {12, sqrt(2), pi, -3/7}, or all whole numbers between 3 and 53, or multiples of 3, or composite numbers, or counting numbers, or integers, or rational numbers, or real numbers, or complex numbers, etc.
The numbers are 3, 4 and 5.
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
That's a little redundant, since all factors are whole numbers. Factors are the numbers that multiply together to get a product. In the sentence 4 x 3 = 12, 4 and 3 are factors of 12; two whole number factors of 12.
9 and 3
3 can't lie between consecutive whole numbers. It lies between 2 and 4, which are consecutive even numbers.
The products of whole numbers are always whole numbers, but the quotients -- the answers you get when you divide one number by another -- depend upon the actual numbers and which is the dividend and which is the divisor. For example, 12 divided by 3 is 4, a whole number, but 3 divided by 12 is 1/4 or 0.25, a fraction.
There are 900 three-digit whole numbers between 1 and 1000
