1. What Are Consecutive Numbers?

Consecutive numbers are integers that follow each other in order without gaps. For any integer n, the next consecutive number is always n+1.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( n \) — Current integer
• \( \text{next} \) — Next consecutive integer

Explanation: This formula simply adds 1 to the current number to find the next number in sequence.

3. Importance of Consecutive Numbers

Details: Consecutive numbers are fundamental in mathematics, used in number theory, algebra, and various problem-solving scenarios.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter any integer value (positive or negative) to find its consecutive successor. The calculator works with whole numbers only.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are consecutive even numbers?
A: Consecutive even numbers follow the pattern n, n+2, n+4, etc., where n is even.

Q2: What are consecutive odd numbers?
A: Consecutive odd numbers follow the pattern n, n+2, n+4, etc., where n is odd.

Q3: Can this calculator work with decimals?
A: No, it only works with whole numbers (integers) as consecutive numbers are defined for integers.

Q4: What's the consecutive number of zero?
A: The consecutive number after zero is 1.

Q5: How do I find previous consecutive numbers?
A: Subtract 1 from the current number (n-1) to find the previous consecutive number.
