Consecutive numbers are like neighbors in a row, each one following the next without any gaps. Think of them as 1, 2, 3, 4, where they’re just one step away from each other. When you have these numbers in a line, the number right in the middle (that’s called the median) and the average of all the numbers (which is called the mean) are actually the same. So, for example, if you start with a number, say 3, the consecutive numbers after that would be 4 and 5.
