Assuming you mean how to solve what three consecutive numbers sum to some value:

Divide the sum by three to get the middle number.

The other two numbers are one less than this and one more than it.

example:

Which three consecutive numbers sum to 108?

108 ÷ 3 = 36

→ The other two numbers are 36 - 1 = 35 and 36 + 1 = 37

→ The three numbers are 35, 36, 37.

35 + 36 + 37 = 108 as required.
