Hola User!
Let us take the numbers as
First number = ( m - 1 )
Second number = ( m )
Third number = ( m + 1 )
We will have to multiply these numbers to get 3360
( m - 1 ) × ( m ) × ( m + 1 )
( m - 1 ) × ( m + 1 ) × ( m )
Note : ( a² - b² ) = ( a + b ) × ( a - b )
( m² - 1 ) × ( m ) = 3360
⇒ m³ - m = 3360
⇒ m³ - m - 3360 = 0
⇒ This equation will be true if m will be equal to 15 ( by trial and error method )
⇒ m = 15
⇒ m - 1 = 14
⇒ m + 1 = 16
Least number = 14
