Question

The sum of five consecutive integers is five. What is the product of the five integers?

Answer 1

Answer:Let n = the smallest integer

Then the other integers are n+1, n+2, n+3 and n+4

Sum = n + n+1 + n+2 + n+3 + n+4 = 5n + 10 = 5(n + 2)

So the sum is always divisible by 5, for any value of n
