Question

The sum of three consecutive natural numbers is 243.find the number

Answer 1

Let one number be x

Next consecutive number = x + 1

Next consecutive number = x + 1 + 1 = x + 2

Sum of the numbers = 243

The equation formed :

x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 243

=> 3x + 3 = 243

=> 3x = 243 - 3

=> 3x = 240

=> x = 240 / 3

=> x = 80

One number = 80 ANS

Next number = 80 + 1 = 81 ANS

Next number = 80 + 2 = 82 ANS

Answer 2

❈ Solution ❈

Let's assume the consecutive natural numbers as

x, (x + 1) & (x + 2)

According to Question,

Sum of the numbers = 243

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 243

⇒ 3x + 3 = 243

⇒ 3x = 243 - 3

⇒ 3x = 240

⇒ x = 240 / 3

⇒ x = 80

❊ Required Numbers ❊

✦ x = 80

✦ x + 1 = 80 + 1 = 80

✦ x + 2 = 80 + 2 = 82

Hence, the required consecutive natural numbers are 80, 81 & 82
