if you meant sum of the 4 consecutive integers then the ans is as follows,
let the consecutive numbers be a-d, a, a+d and a+2d
ATQ,
a - d + a + a + d + a + 2 d = 840
4 a + 2 d = 840
2 a + d = 420
d = 420- 2a...............................1
then a - d = a - (420 - 2a)
= a - 420 + 2a
=> 3a = 420
a = 420/3
= 140
thus
d = 420- 2*140
= 420 - 280
= 140
thus the four consecutive numbers are = a - d = 140-140 = 0
a = 140
a + d = 140+ 140 = 280
a + 2d = 140+ 2*140 = 420
the largest num = 420
verification:
0 + 140 + 280 + 420 = 840
let the consecutive numbers be a-d, a, a+d and a+2d
ATQ,
a - d + a + a + d + a + 2 d = 840
4 a + 2 d = 840
2 a + d = 420
d = 420- 2a...............................1
then a - d = a - (420 - 2a)
= a - 420 + 2a
=> 3a = 420
a = 420/3
= 140
thus
d = 420- 2*140
= 420 - 280
= 140
thus the four consecutive numbers are = a - d = 140-140 = 0
a = 140
a + d = 140+ 140 = 280
a + 2d = 140+ 2*140 = 420
the largest num = 420
verification:
0 + 140 + 280 + 420 = 840
