    46 is the second smallest number of the sequence

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's write the sum of 4 consecutive numbers (starting at the value x) as:

    x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 186

    Now group all the unknowns:

    x + x + x + x + 1 + 2 + 3 = 186

    4 x + 6 = 186

    4 x = 186 - 6

    4 x = 180

    x = 180/4

    x = 45

    Then the sequence was: 45, 46, 47, 48

    and the second smallest number of the sequence s: 46
