The sum of 4 consercutive odd number is 112. Find the least of the four number
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Consider the average "x" of these 4 consecutive odd numbers.

It is an even integer number in the center between the four consecurive odd numbers.


For this central even number, you have this equation

    4x = 112,  which gives  x = 112/4 = 28.


Hence, the four consecutive odd numbers under the problem's question are

    25, 27, 29 and 31.


CHECK.  25 + 27 + 29 + 31 = calculate it on your own to make sure that my answer is correct.

Solved.
