Consecutive Numbers Question 2013-08-11
From Lucy:
Hello,
I have a question about consecutive numbers. So lets say a question tells you to find what three consecutive numbers are that add up to a certain number. To calculate this, would you use 2x+1, 2x+3, 2x+5 or just x, x+2, x+4.
Also, the same question for even numbers. Would you use:
2x, 2x+2, 2x+4 or just x, x+2, x+4.
My math book is confusing because it uses the first strategy(the 2x+…) in some situations and the second strategy(x+…) in other situations. Thus, can you provide me an explanation of why you would use the strategy that is correct?
Specifically, my book answered this question: If “n” is the first of five consecutive odd numbers, what is their average, using n,n+2….=5n+20 and average is n+4(this is the answer),.
For the question: the sum of 4 consecutive odd integers must be:
Divisible by 8 but not necessarily 16(this is the answer), it used the strategy 2k+1, 2k+3…=8k+16.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.

Four consecutive integers 2007-09-28
From Joshua:
We were given a question that involved consecutive integers. I can not seem to solve this question and I am the top student in my class.The question states: Find four consecutive integers such that twice the sum of the two greater integers exceeds three times the first by 91. How do you solve this question? Thank you very much for your support.

The sum of two or more consecutive integers 2007-04-26
From nana:
some numbers can be written as the sum of two or more consecutive integers(we consider positive integers only) other number (eg. 4) cannot be express in this way.
let us call a number which can be expressed in this way a SOALTCI( sum of at least two consecutive integers)
a). list the first few SOALTCI and conjecture the general formula.
b). Prove that any number of the given form(in your answer (a)) is a SOALTCI

The product of any n consecutive integers 2004-01-18
From Fazia:
I have to prove that the product of any n consecutive integers is divisible by n!(eg:the product of five consecutive integers is divisible by 5!) It's easy enough to plug in numbers and prove it is true, but i'm finding it difficult to come up with a proper proof.
