Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Try to create an equation. We can say that the first number is x and the following numbers are x+1 and x+2. That means that x*(x+1)*(x+2)=4896.

2. Solve and Simplify. x^3+3x^2+2x=4896.

3. Solve and Simplify (2) I'm assuming that you're not looking for the complex solutions, so x=16.

4. Find the 3rd number. 16+2=18

Answer: 18 is the largest number of the three
