Definition of Consecutive Numbers

Consecutive Numbers are numbers which follow each other in order from smallest to largest, and without any interruptions or gaps.

For example,

  • \(8\), \(9\), \(10\), \(11\) and \(12\) are consecutive counting numbers.
  • 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th are consecutive ordinal numbers.
  • \(15\),\(17\), \(19\) and \(21\) are consecutive odd numbers.
  • \(1\),\(4\), \(9\) and \(16\) are consecutive square numbers.

Note that you cannot find consecutive real or rational numbers.
