You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1. what are four consecutive numbers whose sum is 88?
------------
88/4 = 22, the center
--> 20.5, 21.5, 22.5 & 23.5
There is no integer solution
20+21+22+23 = 86
21+22+23+24 = 90
=========================
2. the sum of cosecutive number is 326, find them?

Consecutive implies integers.
The sum of 2 consecutive integers is always odd.
Solve for and discover that is not an integer. That means that the term consecutive has no meaning in this context, Therefore, no solution. If you had asked about consecutive ODD integers, then there would be a solution.
