    -9

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Four consecutive odd integers be (2x - 3), (2x - 1), (2x + 1), (2x + 3)

    2x-3 + 2x - 1 + 2x+1 + 2x+3 = - 48

    2x + 2x + 2x + 2x - 3 - 1 + 3 + 1 = - 48

    8x = - 48

    x = - 48/8

    x = - 6

    Least of these integer = 2x + 3 = 2 * (-6) + 3 = - 12 + 3 = - 9
