The integers are -6, -5 and -4 OR -7, -5 and -3 using only consecutive odd integers.

Let's denote the four consecutive integers as n, n+1, n+2, and n+3. The sum of these integers can be represented as n + (n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3) = 4n + 6. Given that the sum is -66, we can set up the equation 4n + 6 = -66. Solving for n, we find that n = -18. Therefore, the four consecutive integers are -18, -17, -16, and -15.
Divide the sum of the three consecutive odd integers by 3: 45/3 = 15. The smallest of these integers will be two less than 15 and the largest will be two more than 15, so the three consecutive odd integers will be 13, 15, and 17.

Divide the sum of the three consecutive odd integers by 3: 51 / 3 = 17. The smallest of these integers will be two less than 17 and the largest will be two more than 17, so the three consecutive odd integers will be 15, 17, and 19.
It need not be. 2 and 3 are consecutive integers and their sum is 5, not 31.

The numbers are -5, -4, -3, -2 and -1.
The only proper factor of 51 that is less than 1/3 of 51 is 3. Divide the sum of three consecutive odd integers by 3: 51/3 = 17. The smallest of these integers will be two less than 17 and the largest will be two more than 17, so the three consecutive odd integers having a sum of 51 are 15, 17, and 19.
