You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let the number be x
So the three consecutive integers are
x, x+1 and x+2
x+%2B+%28x%2B1%29+%2B+%28x%2B2%29+=+4080
3x+%2B+3+=+4080
3x+=+4080+-3
3x+=+4077
x+=+4077%2F3
x+=+1359
So the numbers are 1359, 1360 and 1361
Use the same idea to solve for the product (the other problem you entered)
