How would you write consecutive numbers? If the first number is n what would the second, third, and fourth consecutive numbers be? (hint: if n is the first number then n+1 would be the next (second) consecutive number). Then just set up the sum of those four numbers to equal 866 and solve for n.

In the future, please use a title with a little more description, such as "consecutive numbers" rather than just MATH
