Question

Find three smallest consecutive natural numbers such that the difference between one-third of the largest and one-fifth of the smallest is at least 3.

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Let first least natural number = x then, second number = x + 1 and third number = x + 2 Given, Since the three consecutive numbers should be natural numbers ∴ x = 18 x + 1 = 19 x + 2 = 20 Hence, the three smallest consecutive natural numbers are 18, 19, 20
