    The integers are x, x + 2 and x + 4

    x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 126

    3x + 6 = 126

    3x = 126 - 6 = 120

    x = 120/3 = 40

    The least consecutive integer is 40

    The second consecutive integer is 42

    The greatest consecutive integer is 44.

    Therefore, the numbers are 40, 42 and 44
