Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the middle number be x.

(x - 1)(x)(x + 1) = 21,924

You can solve that equation, or you can use logic.

The 3 numbers are going to be close to the cubic root of 21,924.

cubic root of 21,924 = 27.988 or approx 28.

Try 27, 28, 29

27 * 28 * 29 = 21,924

Answer: 27
