**HELP** sequences and consecutive numbers definition **** 09 Oct 2007, 12:10

Could someone please clarify if it is ever possible to have "consecutive" numbers that are not immediately following each other. In essence, I'd like to clarify the definition of "consecutive".

Does "two consecutive even numbers" in a problem statement necessarily imply that numbers are N and N+2 (ie, 2,4 or 10, 12) or could you somehow get 2 and 10 from this definition?

Thanks!

Anything in Arithmetic sequence (A Progression) could be in the form a, a+d, a+2d......a+(n-1)*d, where a is the first term of this sequence increasing/decreasing by common difference d

In case of sequence of a gemetric progression (GP): a, a/r, a/r^2,....a/r(n-1)......here common factor is r

In asnwer to your question 2, 10, 50.....could be a even sequence but consecutive even number means only 2,4,6.........etc conclusively, 2N & 2N+2 are TWO even consecutive numbers!

I hope this will help!
