The difference between any two adjacent numbers is increasing by 2 each time.
47: 1, 47 48: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48 49: 1, 7, 49 50: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50
Here are the first 3 numbers less than 50: 50 - 1 = 49 50 - 2 = 48 50 - 3 = 47 The numbers before it would be the answer too.
43 45 47 49
There are 50C3 = 50!/(3!47!) = 19,600 such possible combinations. The list [could] start: {1, 2, 3}, {1, 2, 4}, {1, 2, 5}, {1, 2, 6}, ... and end: ..., {47, 48, 49}, {47, 48, 50}, {47, 49, 50}, {48, 49, 50}. I'll let you fill in the other 19,592 combinations.
48, 49 and 50 are all composite.
46.2
The answer is 47
