Answer 2

According to the question,

Sum of four consecutive natural numbers is 166

We know consecutive natural numbers differ by 1.

If n is the first number, then other three will be n+ 1, n +2, n+3.

Given, Sum of the four numbers is 166

⇒ n + (n+1)+(n+2)+(n+3) = 166

⇒ (n+n+n+n) + (1+2+3)= 166

⇒ 4n + 6 = 166

⇒ 4n = 166 - 6

⇒4n = 160

⇒ n = 40.

Therefore the four consecutive natural numbers are

⇒n = 40

⇒n + 1 = 41

⇒n + 2 = 42

⇒n + 3 = 43.

Therefore, 40, 41, 42, 43 are the four consecutive natural numbers.
