Can you find three consecutive natural numbers none of which is divisible by 3? Explain your answer

OpenStudy (cathyangs):

well...if you count 0 as a natural number (which I thought you didn't...) , then you can say 0, 1, and 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I didn't use 0 as a natural number because, I remember it being a whole number.

OpenStudy (cathyangs):

then that is impossible. Every third natural number is divisible by 3, so there is no answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, thank you very much.
