Let the four consecutive even numbers are x,(x + 2), (x + 4), (x + 6).
Clearly, this is a series of consecutive even numbers.
According to the formula,
Average of consecutive numbers
= \( \Large \frac{First \ number + Last \ number}{2} \)
= 27 = \( \Large \frac{ x+(x+6)}{2} \) = x + 3 = 27
Therefore, x = 24
Greatest number = 4th consecutive even number = (x+6) = 24+6 = 30
