Answer 1

Answer:

The sum of three consecutive natural number each divisible by 3 is 72

Answer 2

THE SUM OF 3 CONSECUTIVE NATURAL NUMBERS IS ALWAYS DIVISIBLE BE 3.

Explanation:

• The consecutive numbers are the numbers which comes after one another, for example 5, 6, and 7.
• The natural numbers start from one.
• The sum of 3 consecutive numbers can be written as:

        1st number = n

        2nd number = n + 1

        3rd number = n + 2

        Sum = n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 3n + 3 = 3(n + 1)

• The sum of the three consecutive numbers are a multiple of 3 so, they will be divisible by 3.
• 1 + 2 + 3 = 6, 6 is divisible by 3.
• 24 + 25 + 26 = 75, 75 is divisible by 3.
