Consecutive Numbers Worksheets
Things You Need to Know About Consecutive Numbers - Consecutive numbers may seem like a straightforward concept. But when it comes to the mathematical definition of it, there are different views about its meaning. Consecutive numbers can be defined as: - Numbers that follow each other in regular counting order, from the smallest to the largest number are called as consecutive numbers. - Integers n1 and n2 are arranged such that n1 - n2 = 1 and n2 come after n1. Integers arranged in this order give us consecutive numbers. Consecutive numbers are often confused with multiples. Number 2, 4, 6 are not consecutive numbers, they are consecutive multiples of 2, which means that they are adjacent numbers. You may be asked about the odd and even consecutive numbers. In that case, you take an odd or even number and consider the next odd or even number. That means if you take 2 as your first even number, then the next even consecutive numbers would be 4, 6, 8, and so on. Similarly, if you take 15 as your odd number, the series of odd consecutive numbers would look like 15, 17, 19, 21. Consecutive numbers can also be represented algebraically. For algebraic representation, you take the number as x. The following consecutive numbers would be x + 1, x + 2, x + 3. If you are asked for even consecutive numbers, then you select the first number as even, you can do this by choosing 2x as your first even consecutive number. The series would appear like 2x + 2, 2x + 4, 2x + 6. The series of odd consecutive numbers would look like 2x+1, 2x+3, 2x+5. The worksheets show students how to calculate values and understand consecutive integers.
