Answer:

No such four numbers

Explanation:

x - the first number

x+1 - the number consecutive to x (secon consecutive)

x+1+1=x+2 - next consecutive number (the third)

x+2+1 = x+3 - the last consecutive number (fourth)

x + x+1 x+2 + x+3 = 180

4x + 6 = 180

-6 -6

4x = 174

÷4 ÷4

x = 43.5

It is not an integer. I means there are not four consecutive integers which gives the sum 180.
