Four Consecutive Numbers
Consecutive numbers
To add four consecutive numbers, you add the first and the last numbers and
multiply by 2.
What about that? Will it always work?
Hint: Make a chart with five columns. Put four consecutive numbers one in each cell of a row and their sum in the fifth row. Repeat for several other numbers and see what kiind of pattern there is.
