Problem
The sum of six consecutive positive integers is 2013. What is the largest of these six integers?
Solution 1
The mean of these numbers is . Therefore the numbers are , so the answer is
Solution 2
Let the number be . Then our desired number is .
Our integers are , so we have that .
Solution 3
Let the first term be . Our integers are . We have,
Solution 4
Since there are numbers, we divide by to find the mean of the numbers. . Then, (the fourth number). Fifth: ; Sixth: .
Solution 5
Let the number be . Then our list is: . Simplifying this gets you , which means that
