Question

Sum of seven consecutive natural numbers is 273. Find the largest number.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the numbers be x , x+2 , x+3 , x+4 , x+5 , x+6 , x+7

so,

x +x+2+x+3+x+4+x+5+x+6+x+7 = 273

7x+28 = 273

7x = 273-28

7x = 245

x = 245/7

x=35

numbers

x=35

x+1=36

x+2=37

x+3=38

x+4=39

x+5=40

x+6=41

x+7=42

35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42(consecutive numbers)

The largest number is 42
