You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let:
x -be the number
x+1 -be the 2nd number
x+2 -be the 3rd number
x+3 -be the fourth number
You know since they are consecutive :)
(x)(x+1)(x+2)(x+3)=15000
%28x%5E2%2Bx%29%28x%5E2%2B5x%2B6%29=15000
x%5E4%2B6x%5E3%2B11x%5E2%2B6x=15000
%281%2Fx%29%28x%5E4%2B6x%5E3%2B11x%5E2%2B6x%29=%281%2Fx%2915000
x%5E3%2B6x%5E2%2B11x%2B6=%2815000%2Fx%29
Find x you know. I'm sorry it's just hard to type I'll be late for my examinations wish me luck! ;)
