The three consecutive numbers can be found by doing the listing method. First it must be taken to account on what numbers to start with, we could find the nearest number to 174 that is divisible by 3, which in this case is 180. 180 divided by 3 is equal to 60, and since 180 is more than 174, then we should add numbers which are below 60.
Listing method:
58+59+60 = 177
57+58+59 = 174
The 3 consecutive integers are 57,58, and 59.
