Any set of consecutive integers form an arithmetic sequence.

The sum of the terms of an arithmetic sequence is the number of terms, multiplied by the average of the terms.

Since the sum is 98 and there are 4 terms, the average is 98/4 = 24.5.

Logical reasoning then says the four consecutive integers are 23, 24, 25, and 26.

ANSWER: 23, 24, 25, and 26
