Answer. 25 , 26 and 27 are the three consecutive integers.

this sum must be even, so 3 consecutive even integers would be n, n+2 & n+4 whose sum is 3n + 6.

Set that to either 78 or 7878, whichever is intended, & solve for n. If 78 is their grand total, then those 3 consecutive even numbers have to be 24, 26 & 28.
