To find the smallest even consecutive numbers whose sum is at most 90, we can start with the smallest even number, which is 2. Then, we can add 2 to it to get the next even number, which is 4. We can keep adding 2 to get the next even numbers, and keep track of their sum. We can stop as soon as the sum exceeds 90.

The smallest even consecutive numbers whose sum is at most 90 are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90

The first 20 even consecutive numbers sum 90.
