Question

The sum of two consecutive odd numbers Is 364. Find the larger number.

Answer 1

183

Explanation:

If they are two consecutive odd numbers, than these two numbers will be close to half of the sum (364).

364/2=182

Now Find the two odd numbers in between 182, which are 181 and 183.

I had this type of question a few times recently, and this method worked every time :).

Bonus information:

For two consecutive odd/even numbers, find the half of the sum.

For three consecutive odd/even numbers, start off by finding the third of the sum. And so on...

Hope this helped! :D
