Find four consecutive integers whose sum is 114.

The integers are ______

Answer 1

• 27, 28, 29 and 30

Explanation:

Let the integers be:

• n, n + 1, n + 2 and n + 3

Their sum is 114:

• n + n + 1 + n + 2 + n + 3 = 114

Solving for n:

• 4n + 6 = 114
• 4n = 108
• n = 108/4
• n = 27

The numbers are: 27, 28, 29 and 30
