Question :
- Find two consecutive natural numbers whose sum is 53 .
Solution :
- Let the two natural numbers be x and x+ 1 .
A/Q
Sum of the numbers = 53
x + x + 1 = 53
2x + 1 = 53
2x = 53 - 1
2x = 52
x = 52/2
x = 26
x + 1 = 26 + 1 = 27
Hence the two consecutive natural numbers are 26 and 27 .
____________________________
All the positive integers used for counting are called natural numbers . These numbers are counting numbers and start from 1 and end at infinity .
Zero is considered a whole number rather than a natural number because it is not a positive integer . Zero is neither negetive nor positive . Hence it considered a whole number.
Answer:
26 & 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Two consecutive natural numbers whose sum is 53.
Assume that the two consecutive natural numbers be (x) and (x + 1).
As per given condition,
Sum of both the consecutive numbers i.e. x & x + 1 is 53.
→ x + (x + 1) = 53
→ x + x + 1 = 53
→ 2x = 53 - 1
→ 2x = 52
Divide by 2 on both sides,
→ 2x/2 = 52/2
→ x = 26
Hence,
The one number = x = 26
Other number = x + 1 = 26 + 1 = 27
