Answer:

6

Explanation:

The product of three consecutive numbers is divisible by ​6

Let us say the numbers are x, x+1 , x+2

if x = 1,

Product of the three consecutive numbers,

(1)(2)(3)

=> 6, which is divisible by 6

if x = 2,

Product of the three consecutive numbers,

(2)(3)(4)

=> 24, which is divisible by 6

Similarly if we take any 3 consecutive numbers their product will be divisible by 6.
