Well if you don't know what the numbers are then you can let x be an even number, then your consecutive numbers would be x, x+2, x+4,x+6 etc. so lets say that x is an even number and you are told...
Leaving aside 2, you will get exactly the so-called singly even numbers, those which are divisible by 2 but not by 4.
2 + 4 = 6
4 + 6 = 10
etc.
If you want, you can add 0 + 2 = 2 to include 2 as...
150, 152, 154 Let the three consecutive even numbers be 2n-2, 2n & 2n+2, then: (2n-2) + 2n + (2n+2) = 456 ⇒ 6n = 456 ⇒ n = 76 Which means the three numbers are: 2n-2 = 2 x 76 - 2 = 150 2n = 2...
