To find the sum of the greatest five consecutive even numbers less than 7000, we need to first determine the largest number that meets the criteria and then sum up the five numbers.
Step 1: Determine the largest number less than 7000 that is even.
To do this, we divide 7000 by 2 (since even numbers are divisible by 2) and round it down to the nearest whole number. This will give us the highest possible even number less than 7000.
7000 / 2 = 3500
Step 2: Subtract 2 from the result obtained in Step 1 to find the second-to-last even number.
3500 - 2 = 3498
Step 3: Repeat Step 2 four more times to find the remaining consecutive even numbers.
3498 - 2 = 3496
3496 - 2 = 3494
3494 - 2 = 3492
3492 - 2 = 3490
Step 4: Sum up the five numbers obtained in Steps 1-3.
3500 + 3498 + 3496 + 3494 + 3492 = 17480
Therefore, the sum of the greatest five consecutive even numbers less than 7000 is 17480.
