Consecutive whole numbers :

Consecutive whole numbers are whole numbers that are adjacent to one another on a given number line. An example of a consecutive whole number is 3, which is a consecutive whole number after 2; 4 is the whole number preceding 5 consecutively.
 
A whole number cannot be a decimal, a fraction, or a percent of a number.
 
3 3 / 8 menas 3 and 3 / 8.
it can be written as 3 + (3 / 8) = ( 24 + 3) / 8 = 27 / 8.
 
From the definition of consecutive whole numbers, There are no consecutive whole numbers  that make 27 / 8 using simple arithmetical operations.
