Any three consecutive integers are divisible by three because it can be shown that the sum divided by three is the middle number.
Both statements are true.These should really be asked as two separate questions.Yes, the sum of any three consecutive integers is divisible by 3. Call the first number "n", the other two will be "n + 1" and "n + 2". Adding everything together, you get 3n + 3, which is equal to 3(n + 1). Since "n" is a whole number, so is "n + 1", and 3 times as much is a multiple of 3.Two integers are consecutive if one is one more than the other... Well, yes, that's basically the definition of "consecutive".
There are no such numbers. If S is the sum of any 4 consecutive integers then S = 2 (mod 4) In other words, any four consecutive integers add up to an even number that is NOT dvisible by 4.
