integers are x, x+2,x+4,x+6
They add to 220
4x+12=220
4x=208
x=52
58 is the greatest integer of the group (52,54,56,58)

The sum of the four integers is 220, so the average of the four integers is 220/4 = 55.

The four consecutive even integers have to be two on each side of the average of 55, so they are 52, 54, 56, and 58.
