The only way for three prime numbers to have a sum of 42 is if one of the prime numbers is 2, as 2 is the only even Prime number. The other two prime numbers must add up to 40, which can only be achieved by 3 and 37. Therefore, the three prime numbers that have a sum of 42 are 2, 3, and 37.

Well, one of the numbers must definitely be two - otherwise, the sum of three odd numbers would be odd. Check what other two prime numbers add up to the remainder (40).
