This is something that has to be done by trial and error. Luckily, we don't have to search long.

Consecutive odd integers: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, etc

Since 1 is not prime (by definition), we can skip it. Moving on we see that three is prime, five is prime, and seven is prime. So three consecutive odd numbers that are prime numbers are 3, 5, and 7

If you want to find another set, extend the list of consecutive odd integers and test whether or not the numbers in that set is prime.
