What three consecutive integers have a sum of 4191?

Here we will use algebra to find three consecutive integers whose sum is 4191. We start by assigning X to the first integer. Since they are consecutive, it means that the 2nd number will be X + 1 and the 3rd number will be X + 2 and they should all add up to 4191. Therefore, you can write the equation as follows:

(X) + (X + 1) + (X + 2) = 4191

To solve for X, you first add the integers together and the X variables together. Then you subtract three from each side, followed by dividing by 3 on each side. Here is the work to show our math:

X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 4191
3X + 3 = 4191

3X + 3 - 3 = 4191 - 3
3X = 4188

3X/3 = 4188/3
X = 1396

Which means that the first number is 1396, the second number is 1396 + 1 and the third number is 1396 + 2. Therefore, three consecutive integers that add up to 4191 are 1396, 1397, and 1398.

1396 + 1397 + 1398 = 4191

We know our answer is correct because 1396 + 1397 + 1398 equals 4191 as displayed above.
