Answer 4

Oh, 118. Sorry I left for a little :D

Answer 5

Is that it?

Answer 6

Nope, 118 is an even number. Do you agree that 118 + 118 is 236 then?

Answer 7

Yes, 118+118 is 236

Answer 8

Sweet, so....Will this be the same?
(118-1)+(118+1) = 236

Answer 9

No, I don't think so

Answer 10

Oh, I get what you mean so it's 117?

Answer 11

Right! So what would the other # be?

Answer 12

119?

Answer 13

YES! So...117 + 119 = 236. They are both odd and consecutive to each other on the number line as odd numbers. And I suppose 117 is the smallest lol.
