Consecutive numbers are numbers right next to each other like 1 2 3 so I think you'd divide 120 by 3. But I think the numbers are 39 40 and 41

consetuve integers are 1 apart

they are n,n+1,n+2

so

n+n+1+n+2=120
3n+3=120
miknus 3 both sides
3n=117
divide both sides by 3
n=39
n+1=40
n+2=41

the numbers are 39,40,41
