Let consecutive numbers be, x, x+1 and x+2.

According to the condition, we have

          x + [x+1] +[x+2] =51

or                x + x + 1 + x + 2 =51

or                              3x + 3 = 51

   Transposing 3 to RHS, we have

                                3x = 51 - 3 = 48

  Dividing both sides by 3, we have:

                                   or  x =16

Now                         x + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

and                          x + 2 = 16 + 2 =18   

    Thus, the required three consecutive numbers are: 16, 17 and 18.
