you need the first gap of 7 between primes
looking at a list of primes, this is from 89 - 97
thus, 90 to 95 will be the first set of six consecutive non-primes
sum of 90 to 95 is 6(90 + 95)/2 = 3(185) = 555

find the lowest six consecutive integers that aren't prime: 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95
so the answer is 555
so the answer is 555
