Answer:

The largest number among them is 27.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The sum of three consecutive odd natural numbers each divisible by 3 is 72.

To find : What is the largest among them?

Solution :

Let x , x+3 , x+6 are three consecutive numbers divisible by 3

According to question,

x+x+3+x+6=72

3x+9=72

3x=72-9

3x=63

x=\frac{63}{3}

x=21

Substitute the value of x in consecutive numbers,

x=21,

x+3=21+3=24,

x+6=21+6=27

Therefore, The largest number among them is 27.
