    Integers
In summary, consecutive integers are a sequence of numbers with a difference of 1 between each number. The number of consecutive integers depends on the starting and ending numbers. 3, 2, and 1 can be considered consecutive integers if they follow the pattern of increasing by 1. The sum of 3, 2, and 1 is 6, and the product is also 6.

I was just wondering.

the integers 1 2 3 are consecutive.

are the integers 3 2 1 consecutive ?

Does 2 come after 3? Does 1 come after 2?

But its semantics really, its not important since they are the same numbers related in the same way.
 

1. What are consecutive integers?

Consecutive integers are a sequence of numbers that follow each other in order, with a difference of 1 between each number. For example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are consecutive integers.

2. How many consecutive integers are there?

The number of consecutive integers depends on the starting number and the ending number. For example, if the starting number is 1 and the ending number is 5, there are 5 consecutive integers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

3. Can 3, 2, and 1 be considered consecutive integers?

Yes, 3, 2, and 1 can be considered consecutive integers if they follow the pattern of increasing by 1 from one number to the next. However, they are typically listed in descending order, so it may be more common to list them as 1, 2, 3.

4. What is the sum of 3, 2, and 1?

The sum of 3, 2, and 1 is 6. This can be calculated by adding each number together: 3+2+1=6. Alternatively, you can use the formula n(n+1)/2, where n is the last number in the sequence. In this case, n=3, so the sum is (3)(3+1)/2 = 6.

5. What is the product of 3, 2, and 1?

The product of 3, 2, and 1 is 6. This can be calculated by multiplying each number together: 3x2x1=6. Alternatively, you can use the formula n!, where n is the last number in the sequence. In this case, n=3, so the product is (3)! = 6.
