thus,sum of 90 to 95 is 6(90 + 95)/2 = 3(185) = 555-find the lowest six consecutive integers that arent prime: 90, 91, 92, 93, 94,......
Find the smallest possible sum of six consecutive integers such that none of the integers is prime.

steps please!

-
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
