This is still unintelligible. Fix your question! Are you saying you have two numbers, x and y, and that y%2Fx=3 ?

Two consecutive numbers, n and n+1;
n%2B%28n%2B1%29=16
2n%2B1=16
2n=15
n=7%261%2F2, NOT an integer, and NOT a whole number.

You further want %28n%2B1%29%2Fn=3
n%2B1=3n
1=2n
n=1%2F2, unequal to the already-found value for n, and still not whole nor integer.
