Are these CONSECUTIVE, or just even numbers with some other relation to each other?


NON-Consecutive
======================================================
smallest            2x          
middle              3x          
largest             4x
SUM                252




, and the values of the three numbers now easily found.

Three even numbers sum up to 252. The smallest is half the largest and the middle number is 3/4 the largest. What are the three numbers?
----------------
L = largest number
---
(1/2)L + (3/4)L + L = 252
Multiply by 4
2L + 3L + 4L = 1008
9L = 1008
L = 112
etc
