Three consecutive odd numbers: 3, 5, 7
The product of two odd numbers is always odd.
If all three numbers are positive then the product obviously has to be positive. If TWO of the three numbers are negative, then the product is also positive. But if exactly ONE of the three numbers is negative or if all THREE are negative, then the product must be negative. In general, a product of numbers is negative if an ODD NUMBER of the terms is negative.
The product of odd number is always odd.
Let's assume the first odd number is x. Then the next two consecutive odd numbers would be x + 2 and x + 4. The product of these three numbers is x(x + 2)(x + 4) = 29667. By trial and error, we find that x = 51 satisfies this equation. Therefore, the three consecutive odd numbers are 51, 53, and 55.
