First, what are 3 consecutive numbers that are either
\n" ); document.write( "equal to or slightly less than 1000?
\n" ); document.write( "Call the numbers $\"n\"$ , $\"n%2B1\"$ , $\"n%2B2\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+%2B+n+%2B+1+%2B+n+%2B+2+=+3n+%2B+3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3n+%2B+3+=+1000\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3%2A%28n+%2B+1%29+=+1000\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+%2B+1+=+333.33\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+=+332.33\"$
\n" ); document.write( "With $\"n+=+332\"$ , the consecutive numbers would be
\n" ); document.write( " $\"332\"$ , $\"333\"$ , and $\"334\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"332+%2B+333+%2B+334+=+999\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This is less than $\"1000\"$ . The next 3 consecutive numbers
\n" ); document.write( "that exceeds $\"1000\"$ is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"333\"$ , $\"334\"$ , and $\"335\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
