Let the first number be X
Then, 2nd and 3rd number are X + 1 and X + 2
so, X + X + 1 + X + 2 = 1623
3X + 3 = 1623
Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get
3X + 3 - 3 = 1623 - 3
3X = 1620
Dividing 3 from both sides, we get
3X/3 = 1620/3
X = 540
Hence, first number is 540, 2nd number is 541 and 3rd number is 542
